Lime Mead Recipe D.I.Y.

Hey Guys and Gals! A mead of wildflower honey and spring water, flavored with key lime juice. Makes one gallon.

Ingredients

• 4 lb wildflower honey
• 1 gallon spring water
• 1 packet Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast
• 6 oz key lime juice

Directions

1. Combine the honey and water in the primary. Warming some of the water helps the honey dissolve.
2. Stir the yeast into a cup of water and let it stand 15 minutes until bubbling. Add it once the must is at the temperature on the packet.
3. Bubbling should start after 24 to 48 hours. Leave the carboy about a third empty for foaming.
4. After 6 to 7 days, when the frothing has slowed, rack to a secondary carboy.
5. Add the lime juice to the secondary.
6. Ferment 1 to 2 months or more.
7. Sterilize the bottles, siphon slowly so the sediment stays behind, cap, and set aside to age.
