Apple MeadOrigin: British Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:
1l apple juice 
Method:PreparationAs with most of the other mead recipes presented on this site, this recipe has been gauged to make 5l of mead. Only a basic listing of ingredients is given, and for a brewing method please see this page for a step-by-step guide. Also see this page for a list of the equipment you'll need. Clean the leaves and put in a large fermenting bucket. Boil the water and pour over he leaves then leave, covered with cheesecloth, over night. The following day filter the liquid and bring to the boil. Add the honey a little at a time until it has dissolved then allow to cool and add the orange juice and zest as well as the yeast nutrient. Once the liquid has cooled to blood temperature add the yeast, cover with cheesecloth and allow to ferment in a warm place for five days. At the end of this time transfer to a fermentation jar and add a sterilized cork and a fermentation lock. Allow to ferment until the fermentation has stopped and the sediment settles. Rack into a new fermentation bottle, add a fermentation lock and leave to stand for two weeks. Add the pectinol, leave for 24 hours then rack into bottles. This results in a fairly dry wine (for a mead) and the flavour is interesting. |
