Now that we have our equipment , we have honey , time to get our water and yeast ready . Lets start with water . Meads main ingredient is water, so we need good water. Any water that good to drink without chlorine ..
Use can use spring water.
Well water without excessive iron
Bottled water…
If your have municipal water that contains chlorine, we need to remove the chlorine before we can use it. Mead make with chlorine in the water will taste like medicine.
The easy way to remove chlorine is to add potassium metabisulphite to your water at 1/2 teaspoon per six gallons of water. Now the chlorine is out and your water. If you use this method it is necessary to cover your water bucket with cheesecloth for 24 hours to allow time for the potassium metabisulphite to dissipate..
well that’s enough on water.
Yeast..there are so many dried yeast , liquid yeast , so many I want you to try them all
Lalvin ,Red Star White Labs and Wyeast are the companies I use for my yeast.
On each company’s website has a yeast chart with the yeast strains . What king of wine they make , fermenting temp, alcohol tolerance .lots of good information
So go pick a wine yeast you can’t go wrong and next time we’re going to Make some mead.
