Beer Style: Open Category Mead  (26C)
Recipe Type: other
Yield: 5 US gallons

Open Category Mead

Description:

3 weeks after bottling had a dry - light "Bristol Cream" taste. Now has a great light mead flavor with a tangy maplish dry undertone.

Now I think 10 lbs of honey, light boiling and a different yeast to sweeten it up a bitand would make for a more flavorful maple mead.

Ingredients:

  • 6 lb Canadian Honey
  • 32 oz container of Canadian Grade A Dark Amber Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp. gypsum
  • 3/4 tsp. pectin
  • 1 tsp. yeast nutrient
  • 1 tsp. table salt
  • 1 tsp. acid blend
  • 1 pkg. M&F ale yeast in 2 cup wort - yeast starter
  • 1 oz. Saaz cube hops (1/2 boil, 1/2 fin)
