RECIPE FOR MEAD


      For a 1 Gal batch I use 3 1/2 to 5 pounds of honey. This results
    in a sweet mead because there is a significant amount of
    unfermented sugar left after the yeast dies. I use Champgaine or
    Monserant (sp?) yeast in order to get a high percentage of alcohol.
    Some of the additives I use are a cup of strong tea (for the tannic
    acid) A tablespoon of lemon juice (for the citric acid) and various
    flavoring additives.
      There are many good books out there and expert brewers to talk to
    I wish you well in exploring the world of homebrewing
