Beer Style: Other Fruit Melomel  (25C)
Recipe Type: other
Yield: 5 US gallons

Other Fruit Melomel

Description:

This is a recipe that I invented, and has become one of my favorites. It has a fairly strong flavor and is great when mulled. I didn't know whether to call it a metheglin or a melomel as it has both spices and fruit, so I decided to give up and coin my own word "melometh".

This can be drinkable after 3 or 4 months but its best to wait a full year to age properly.

Ingredients:

  • 20 lb. honey (strong flavored ones work best)
  • 2 lb. dark raisins (haven't tried white ones yet)
  • 2 tblsp whole cloves (DON'T use ground ones)
  • 1 oz. citric acid
  • 1 package yeast (I use Red Star Montrachet)

Procedure:

Dissolve honey in water, add raisins and cloves, & bring to a simmer (don't boil) for about 5 minutes. Let cool to 95 degrees or so, reserving a small portion to start yeast. Start yeast and add to must in primary fermentation container. Rack to carboy after a week, removing raisins and cloves and topping off with water. Rack again after 3 mo. and bottle @ 6 mo.
