How can you make mead at home?

Answer 1

Mead Is made by fermenting honey! (you learn something new each day, ay?)

Simple mead Recipe

• 1 Part honey
• 5 parts water
• one packet of yeast (I use Lavin EC-1118 Champagne yeast, but any kind will do, you can even use bread yeast if you want, but wine yeast will produce the best results)

Mix the honey and water and pour into a carboy or other primary fermentation container

Prepare the yeast according to the directions on the packet

Put the yeast mixture into the must

If used alternate primary fermentation container then rack the mead into a carboy when fermentation begins to slow and cap with a fermentation lock

Once the fermentation has stopped entirely you can rack again into another carboy and cap with a fermentation lock again to eliminate some of the sediment, or you can simply wait for it to clarify. Either way DO NOT BOTTLE until the mead is crystal clear.

Once clear bottle and enjoy at your leisure. (http://mead.lilleypress.com/articles/40-general/57-a-mazing-simplicity)
