Method:

As with most of the other recipes here, this has been gauged to make 5l of mead. Only a basic listing of ingredients is given, and for a brewing method please see here for a step-by-step mead brewing guide . Also I have a list of brewing materials you will need if you've never tried mead making before.

Prepare the dried rose hips by soaking over night in 2l water. The following day add the rose hips, their soaking water and 3kg honey to a pan and bring to a boil until the honey has dissolved and the fruit have softened. In a separate pan combine the 3l unchlorinated water and 2.7kg honey. When the honey has dissolved mix in the rose hip mixture. Stir-in the orange zest and yeast nutrient then pour into your fermenting bucket. Cover and allow to cool to room temperature then stir-in the pectic enzyme and set aside for 12 hours.

Add the yeast and cover then set aside in a warm place to ferment for about 8 days, stirring every day until vigourous fermentation subsides. Remove the nylon bag at this time (but make certain you squeeze any liquid from it into the fermenting bucket before discarding.

Strain the liquid into a demijohn then make up to 5l with more water. Fit a bung and a fermentation lock and leave to ferment in a warm, dark, place for between 60 and 90 days (or until all fermentation has stopped. Rack the wine ino a second fermentation jar, add a bung and a fermentation lock and set aside for 45 days. Rack once more into a clean demijohn and set aside in a cool, dark, place for 45 days more, or until clarified. Rack the mead into bottles and cork securely then lay the bottles down in a cool place and allow to mature for at least 6 months. This mead, however, will age and develop over 2 years if you can leave it that long.
