U2M - May Mead

Brewed: May 11, 2000   Bottled: January 11, 2001 Another mead made with Sweet Woodruff. Once again we used sprigs with the flowers, which seems to take much longer to age than just flowers.

Ingredients:

• 11 1/4 pounds Madhava clover honey
• aboout 4 oz. fresh Sweet Woodruff, sprigs and flowers
• about 1 T yeast nutrient (old stuff)
• Eldorado Springs water, where ever water is used
• 5 gm Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast
• 3/4 cup corn sugar

Yeast started May 1, 2000 with 1 c grape juice pastuerized with 2 c water.

Honey heated with water. Added must chiller, yeast nutrient and woodruff, heated to 160 F and kept hot for 15 minutes. Cooled. Poured into bucket. Added water to make 5+ gallons. Pitched yeast. Stirred and stored with a bubble-lock.
