Raspberry Mead



Ingredients:



Fermentables-

3 lbs local-raw-organic, raspberry Honey

5 oz Fresh Raspberries



Yeast-

Red Star Pasteur Champagne



OG- 1.120



16JUL2011- After weighing out the raspberries I put them into a pot, added water and started boiling. I used a spoon and mashed the raspberries into the water as they boiled. After that mixed in the raspberry puree with the honey and added enough water to make a gallon. Beautiful purple color.



11AUG2011- Looks like pink lemonade now. Down to 1.002 for a whopping 15.5% ABV
