Ingredients
Mead By Euell Gibbons Preparation
In a large nonreactive pot, add the next four ingredients to the gallon of water. Boil all together for 30 minutes, then strain into a crock that will hold it with a little room to spare. When cooled, add the yeast, dissolved in some of the liquid. Allow to ferment in a cool place - 55 degrees is ideal - until it ceases bubbling and the liquor clears, then bottle, cap tightly and store in a cool, dark cellar. It should not be used for at least a month, and longer is better. Mead unlike many other drinks, does not improve with really long aging, so it should be consumed within a year of the time it was made. ;+} *** Stalking the Wild Asparagus -- by Euell Gibbons *** * Van Rees Press, New York 1962 *

Mead By Euell Gibbons Reviews

This is an excellent recipe for someone who has never make mead before because it makes no presumptions about prior knowledge and it is makes a quantity that is manageanble for even a novice.
I suggest that the author uses proactive to mean stainless steel. This recipe is from a 1962 publication and quality yeasts were not abundant then. I suggest using either Lalvin EC-1118 or Lalvin K1V-1116 AND I suggest adding 1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient after you pitch the yeast. 55 degrees Fahrenheit might be on the low side, but keeping in the refrigerator will do the trick. Also keep it covered in the refrigerator so it dose not pick up other food tastes. Do not bottle until it's six months old and do not worry about how long it takes to consume.
