for you poor ausies
orange spice mead
9kg honey
6 large oranges sliced into large pieces. leave skin on
6 handfuls if raisins
2 tablespoons each of
cinnamon
nutmeg
allspice
1 teaspoon clove
small packet of fleischmann's traditional yeast
need an air tight bucket (6 us gallons) with a hole in lid for a stopper with an air trap. (use the 2 piece ones because the 1 piece ones clog easily)
put honey in bucket. add water to make a total of 6 us gallons
mix very well
add all other ingredients and yeast cover and let ferment until it drops clear. about 2 months (yes its a ling time but it partially ages it as well. siphon into another container set sit for 2 weeks then bottle.
a bit bitter at first but drinkable. aged for 1 year it gets very smooth.
average cost per batch is $3 cdn per bottle.
Quoting: Dauthiatull Champagne yeast is better if you can get it. might not work since this formula was worked out that yeast specifically. fleischmann's traditional yeast is very tolerant of less than optimal conditions. its a good one for first time brewers. I recommend they just follow this until they become more proficient before experimenting. failed batches can get expensive. TOO COMPLEX! Find a neighbor with a fruit tree. Done. mix a bunch of stuff in a bucket of water and wait is too complex? you're a rocket scientist arn't you?
