Makin Mead

Yep, we are making more booze.  This time around we are making mead….aka: fermented honey.  It takes a LOT of honey to make mead, about 15 pounds to be exact.

Image

We added the honey to 4 gallons of distilled water.  We added warm water to the honey jug to make sure we got all of it out and added more water to get it to the 5 gallon mark.

Image

We then added 70 billion yeast cells.  Now that is going to be a party!

Image

To keep the yeast happy it has to be fed for 4 days.

Image

Now we wait two weeks when we get to rack the mead.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
