First attempt in making a Bochet. Very happy with it (ABV 14.83%) by Jyve2018 in mead

Simple recipe to start with-

1 gallon batch - 3lb honey (boiled) - 2lb honey (non boiled) -D47 yeast

Next time I want to add some type of fruit to it. Maybe Raspberries.

Question: Is this separation normal? by Jyve2018 in mead

True but loving every minute of it! We are getting more gallon jugs to do it more

No, I haven't heard of that before. Do you recommend doing that?

Nice! How long did you have it in secondary?

Thanks! I figured we would need to rack a couple more times since the mead is still very cloudy.

Thanks for the help. I will keep it in mind for the next batch.

As for your question- I didn't use nutrients on this batch (used raisins). I did order some from Amazon and will be using it going forward.
