Mead v3.0

Mead v2.0 looked too dark and tasted too much of hops as must, therefore one week after v2.0 was made I made another one. It is mostly done the same way. Except that the hops is boiled less and I droped the anise. Because I did not have the same honey I had to use sweedish honey.

The recipe:
  • 13kg honey from Brasil added in 7.7kg and 5kg batches.
  • lemon rind from two lemons, 10 min in 10l
  • 150g Saaz hops pelets, 15 min in 10l
  • 4ts ginger-powder, 3 weeks
  • One stick cinnamon, 3 weeks
  • 32 carnation (nellik), 3 weeks
With the yeast I'm using I get aproximately a reduction of 1.010 OE a week.
