Just finished a dark porter that we brewed a couple months ago. Took it a while to get really good to drink.

Recipe Type: honey mead
Yield: 5 gallons


Open Category Mead



Description:

This was the very first beer I ever made and 7 years ago most people I knew didn't worry about the bittering units of the hops. I would guess that they were around 3% AAU's. Red star was the main yeast used at the time. Yeast nutrient is necessary since the honey does not have the required food for the beasties. I used buckwheat honey because I like the flavor. Do not drink this beer until at least 1 month after bottling. Since it is made from honey the ale improves with age. A bottle that I saved for 4 and a half years tasted so good that I wish I had saved more! The beer had a very nice honey aroma and flavor. The hops were enough to balance the sweetness. I don't think that I would change anything except try to make more and keep it a while before drinking.

Ingredients:
• 4 pounds, Buckwheat honey
• 4 ounces, Styrian Goldings hops
• 7 grams, Red Star Ale yeast
• 1 teaspoon, acid blend
• 1 teaspoon, yeast nutrient
• 1 cup, corn sugar
