Short meads

Homebrew
1

So I just did a couple of short meads, 5lbs of honey for a bit more than 5 gallons of volume, some nutrient and energizer, WLP 550. Easiest brew imaginable, and damned if it isn’t delicious, too. I did one with heather tips and one with raspberries, both amazing. I’m doing another one tomorrow, with peaches.

This is a thing worth doing. Great refreshing summer drink.

What sort of initial and final gravity did you have?

No idea, I didn’t take gravity readings. I used 5lbs honey for both, and they both ended up quite dry, so it seems that I got good attenuation.

I will have to try this. I love a good dry mead, and a session one at that!

Definitely worth it. Should be carbonated as well. I just had one of the heather ones, I think I’m gonna do another batch tomorrow.
