Simple Mead

Ingredients:

Honey- ~3.5 lbs

Water- <1 Gallon

Yeast- Red Star Pasteur Champagne

O.G. 1.120

15JUN2011- My last mead went over so well I had to make another. I just get bummed about how long it takes to ferment. I'll check it in a couple of months and see what the gravity is down to.

21JUN2011- I had checked it earlier this week and again this morning. Fermentation has stopped at 1.032 for a final ABV of 11.6% Its pretty good, you can really feel that alcohol burn but the left over sugars really balance it out.
