Recipes
Beginner
Traditional Mead
A classic honey, water, and yeast mead. The exact honey mass is set by measured gravity rather than a fixed recipe assumption.
Intermediate
Cyser (Apple Mead)
A honey-and-apple must fermented together. Juice sweetness varies; take gravity readings after the honey and juice are fully blended.
Intermediate
Blueberry Melomel
A fruit mead combining honey and blueberries. Fruit volume, acidity, and extraction vary; keep fruit submerged and use a clean, manageable fermentation plan.
Advanced
Spiced Metheglin
A traditional mead flavored with restrained spice. Add spices in small, taste-tested stages because extraction can become dominant quickly.
