My first batch of Mead was simply 1 1/2# of Clover Honey mixed with 7 Cups room temp water & 1/8 tsp yeast. Let it ferment for 21 days, rack into new vessel and let clarify in the fridge 7-10 days. Turned out great. Second batch was same as above but I added 1/4 tsp. Allspice & 1/8 tsp. Cinnamon. Truely, "The Drink of the Gods" !!! I have a batch of Strawberry going now. Should be done in about another two weeks. I'll try to keep you posted.
BTW-I added the strawberries at the start of fermentation and have never had to use a second carboy. Is there a reason I should?
