Meades
Strawberry Mead
Ingredients for 23 litres (I'm Canadian) (that's slightly over 6 gal --ed)
- 4 pound frozen strawberries
- 10 pounds honey
- 2 tablespoon of yeast nutrient
- 2 packages of champagne yeast
- Boil honey and yeast nutrient in a gallon of water for 15 minutes skimming off the scum from the honey as it boils. You don't have to get it all.
- Put strawberries into primary add honey wort and let steep for 10 minutes. add water. Hydrate one pkg of yeast as you would for beer and stir into wort. sprinkle other package on the top of the wort.
- Transfer to secondary after 7 days. keep in secondary for 2-4 or 6 months transferring routinely until clear. Bottle as per beer and let sit for two months before drinking.
- I generally make this beer in the summer for drinking in the following summer.
- S.G. don't know I brew for taste not alchol. But three of these on a hot day and you won't be needing much else.
