Grocery Store Honey Mead

 A very simple, very effective mead recipe that I made in honor of some close friends' engagement announcement.  They gave me a year's lead time, which I figured would be just enough to make a decent mead.  The fact that COVID-19 delayed their wedding only made for a better product.

INGREDIENTS:
3#Honey
3 qts water
71-B 1122 yeast

PROCESS:
  1. CLEAN AND STERILIZE EVERYTHING.
  2. Heat water, dissolve honey into water.  Skim off any particles.
  3. Add makeup water to make 1 gallon.
  4. Chill to 65 F.  Pitch yeast.
  5. Wait 6 months.  Add more honey if desired.
  6. Bottle, share, and enjoy!
