Apple Pie Mead
Classification:
mead, cyser
Source: kentt@informix.com, r.c.b., 5/21/95
I've been wanting to share
a recipe for a batch I'm enjoying now that is fantastic (and leaves
your senses reeling). The spices are subtle, so don't be afraid to
add more...
Ingredients: (for 5 gallons)
- 1 Gal Honey (12 lbs)
- 2 Gal Pure, Unfiltered Apple Cider (pasteurized!)
- 3 Cinnamon Sticks
- 5 Cloves
- 2 Nutmeg "Buttons", grated
- ~4 Tbs Acid Blend
- Wyeast Dry Mead Yeast
- Yeast Energizer
Procedure:
Boil honey in 2 1/2 gallons water for 30 minutes; skim scum as
it rises. Add all spices and yeast energizer in final 5 minutes;
cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Add must to cider in fermenter.
Test for acid and add acid blend as desired. Pitch a big, healthy
starter of yeast. Rack in 2 weeks, again in another 4 weeks, again
in another 4 weeks. Bottle when crystal clear and prime at your
own risk.
