Special Instructions

1.
Add honey to warm water
2.
Stir like your life depends on it (honey doesn't like to dissolve)
3.
Add yeast and nutrients
4.
Add to fermenter
5.
Top off with water
6.
Shake to aerate
7.
Add airlock and wait.
8.
When yeast falls to the bottom, rack to another fermenter to help clear
9.
Sometimes mead will require several rackings to get completely clear, but oftentimes it will clear in the bottle without ill effect
10.
Mead is best if allowed to age a minimum of 6 weeks. 6 months is preferable if you can stand to wait that long.

    What are the steps involved? I am thinking 5 lbs of honey and yeast are not the only ingredients involved.

    No really: dissolve honey in water, shake to aerate, add yeast. Done. You *can* add 1t each of yeast nutrient and acid blend, or a cup of black tea and 1/4C lemon juice, but it's not strictly necessary.

    Just realized this is the only mead recipe so far, so I added all the steps. If all you've made is beer, mead feels like cheating :)
