How to Make Mead - Hydromel Mead

Описание: How to make Mead - Hydromel Mead. Hydromel is a name for Lighter Mead, something less than 10% alcohol. don't let that scare you, it just means you get to drink it sooner! The more ABV in a beverage, the longer it needs to age before you can enjoy drinking it. Don't worry, I'll be making sack and great meads soon enough! Essentially, make hydromel meads to drink while your great meads and sack meads are aging!

Ingredients List for the Hydromel Mead
1 ounce Organic Golden Raisins
1.5 lbs (2 cups) of the best honey you can find. Try Wildflower, Clover or really any honey flavor, this is straight up mead, so the honey is the centerpiece. I've used this one with great results: https://amzn.to/2vEbDU0 or larger quantity https://amzn.to/2nyI6GJ
1 Teaspoon yeast. I used Lallemand Danstar Belle Saison https://amzn.to/2B9pWVO
Spring Water, if you want the same I used https://amzn.to/2vCH80u
