Mead Brewing
Hey all
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience brewing mead either at home or with a U-Brew type of place. I brought in about 15 pounds of honey to make a batch of mead to a local hobby brewer in Victoria around January and its still there. I was told that as of today it was at a 1045 and really sweet and te goal is to bring it down to below 1000. Last I spoke to the brewer he was going to try to put another yeast type in to speed it up tomorrow.
Has anyone else tried making the stuff? My brewer told me that the speed that it takes to make mead depends on the source of the honey and that he has seen different honey take mere weeks while others have taken up to a year. Mine is coming close to a year now.
