Amber, According to all that I have read abour mead making, it takes up to 3 months for the honey to finish fermenting. If you would like some good recipies and advice try this website. www.gotmead.com and http://suerdata.acd.net/shoupjm/wine.htm...Cider_Mead . These will provide alot of great info and valuable experience from long time wine/mead makers. Hope all work well for you. Enjoy and keep brewing!!FrankAmber Satterwhite wrote: --- In E-Z-Caps@yahoogroups.com, Frank Deans wrote: > Actually, a little of both. Honey takes longer to ferment than sugar and it just seems to taste a lot better the longer it sits. Most mead recipes will tell you the same thing, the longer it ages the better it is. A really good web site for mead/honey wine is www.gotmead.com, they have great information on cysers, melomels, etc. I hope this helps! Good luck and happy brewing! > > Frank > I've got about 5lbs of raw honey that I'm hoping to use for mead once my EZ Caps arrive. Do you leave it in the fridge to age for a month, or do you bottle it first? Amber ===== If you want to be happy for a day, roast a pig. If you want to be happy for a year, marry.
