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

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 :)
