Batch 074: Tanbark Varietal Mead
More honey from the Farmer's Daughter in Half Moon Bay/Moss Beach. This is a dark, bitter honey, and I look forward to seeing how the varietal comes out.
Ingredients in this batch
- 1.5 lbs Snyders tanbark oak honey
- Kirkland clover honey to SG of 1.074
- 1 ½ tsp yeast nutrient, added in three 1/2-tsp increments
- ⅛ tsp Fermaid K
- Filtered water to 1 gallon
- ½ batch of Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast, split with Batch 073
Process
Unlike the unfortunate Batch 073, I mixed the honey in just fine for this one... but didn't write down how much clover honey I used. Ggggggghhhh. I suspect it was 1 lb, but I really maybe need to take better notes.
