Hey Guys and Gals! A mead from starfruit puree and wildflower honey. Makes one gallon.
Ingredients
Step 1
- 3 lb wildflower honey
- 3 cups starfruit puree
- 1 gallon water
Step 2
- 1 tsp yeast nutrient
- 1 pack Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast
Directions
- Cut up and mash the starfruit. Freeze it in bags to break the cell walls, then thaw.
- Boil the honey and water together for half an hour.
- Add to the primary with the thawed fruit. Wait 24 hours.
- Add the yeast and the nutrient at the temperature on the packet.
- Bubbling should start in 24 to 48 hours. Leave a third of the carboy empty for foam.
