I made some mead with 2liters apple juice, 1cup honey and 1/8teaspoon yeast two weeks ago. Do I need to add more yeast? Therecipe (I got from the group) just said "and yeasties" so I wasn'tsure if the yeast is enough.I poured a little our yesterday and it slightly syrupy, golden incolor and taste like honey and apple juice.The recipe I used says it will take about 6 months to age right so,I'll wait and see.It does look beautiful though.Rachel--- "tjenkins4162" wrote:>> --- In E-Z-Caps@yahoogroups.com, "thebirdny" wrote:> >> > What kind of honey should be used?
