Clean and sanitize everything that will come into contact with your must.
2. Dissolve honey in small amount of water (leave room to add additional water to reach batch volume).
3. Add
6 whole cloves
6 whole allspice (crushed)
3 2-inch cinnamon sticks
4. Add water to your batch volume minus volume for yeast slurry.
5. Aerate the must with a drill stirrer or shake/stir vigorously for 15 minutes.
6. Pitch yeast.
7. Record specific gravity and temperature for future reference.
8. Apply airlock. Ferment per your yeast temperature specs.
9. Degas twice per day for first week of fermentation.
10. Dose nutrients per nutrient protocol instructions below. To avoid mead eruption accidents, degas must and dissolve yeast nutrient doses in 1 cup must prior to adding to the fermenter.
- At 24 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 4.7g Fermaid O to your must.
- At 48 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 4.7g Fermaid O to your must.
- At 72 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.2g Fermaid K and 3.6g DAP to your must.
- When the must reaches the 1/3 sugar break (1/3 of all available sugars are consumed, i.e. 1.120 starting gravity reaches 1.080 or 21 Brix reaches 14 Brix), but no later than 7 days after yeast pitch, add the last dose of 5.2g of Fermaid K and 3.6g of DAP.
- If mead starts to show signs of yeast stress from low nutrients after last nutrient dose (evidenced by sulfur smells), add 4.7g Fermaid O as needed to supplement for a high nutrient requirement yeast.
11. Rack when yeast is done fermenting, as evidenced by no drop in SG for two full weeks. Also rack within 3 weeks of sediment layer forming on the bottom of an aging vessel to avoid autolysis flavors.
Packaging:
8oz gallon cranberry juice concentrate
- Take a sample of finished mead and blend carefully measured quantities of mead and juice to taste to determine the correct ratio. Add to keg or bottling bucket and transfer mead on top. Then bottle or keg or whatever.

Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
heat a gallon of water to dissolve the sugar completely, do not boil. Mix all ingredients in a bucket or carboy with additional water to bring to 5 gallon total volume. Add the yeast and nutrient and let ferment.
After fermentation, rack to a bottling bucket, add the sorbistat, vodka and additional sugar to sweeten to taste. Bottle and cap. This will be a still lemonade with a kick you will not believe. |

Notes: Clean and Sanitize everything then start!
Invert your sugar by:
Bringing one gallon filtered water or spring water to 180F/82.2C add 10lbs Cane sugar, 1.5 tsp/7.39ml citric acid and mix until dissolved then rest until clear not milky or continue to heat. Bring to boil and hold at 240F/115.6C for 45 minutes.
THEN:
Cool wort to 95F/35C. You can add (12oz/354.88ML frozen 100% no preservative orange juice to aid in reducing Temp) then add to fermenter when close to 95/35C. Add enough water to fermenter until 4.5/17.3L gallon mark is reached. Add 64oz/1.89L of 100% pasteurized lemon juice no preservatives. Aerate wort in fermenter. (I use a submersible hand held mixer that is sanitized) Once bubbles subside take gravity reading, Add yeast packet directly to wort. Airlock and ferment.
Add 16Oz/.47L lemon Juice on day two and the last 16oz/.47L 100% Pasteurized Lemon Juice (no additives) on day 3 of ferment or when you feel the ferment is ending.
(I don't like clarifying agents but there is always an option to make the brew clearer for you if you prefer more than time itself)
Rack and let clear for a week then..
Taste it!
You can back sweeten it here if needed. (I use erythritol then add priming sugar for bottle conditioning) bottle or keg as needed. Great summertime brew my father passed on to me that I have tweaked to modernized. |
