Bochet mead

[Shine0n]

I did a test batch of 1 gallon of this a month or so ago and it turned out so well I made a 5 gal batch.

15lb clover honey
lalvin 1116 dry yeast
water to 5 gallons
go ferm
fermaid o nutrients
I heated the honey to a very slow boil for an hour, when the honey got to the color and flavor I wanted I added about 1 gallon cool water.

Put it in the 7.75 gal fermenter and added water to the 4.75 gallon mark.

Made a starter the morning of and let it start working until 10pm when I pitched.

She's happily fermenting atm and should be finished I another week or so.

I degased for the first 5 days and it's been going like mad ever since.

I'll age this in one of my barrels for 6 months then check.
