Pimms'N'Lemonade's Viking Powered Honey and Lemon Mead.

Pimms'N'Lemonade's Viking Powered Honey and Lemon Mead.

Ingredients:

4Lbs of clear runny honey
4 Oranges
4 Lemons
6 Pints of water
3 Teaspoons of Pectolase
6 Teaspoons of Yeast Nutrient (It's strong!)
1 Packet of No.3 Srrain GV3 Wine Yeast
Some kind of fermenting device (I use a Beer sphere and will mention it as thus in the method)

Method:


Pour the water into the Beer sphere and then disolve the honey slowly into it, keep doing so until the water has a thickness that could support the weight of an egg. Then coursly chop the fruit and add to the mixture. Then Add the Pectolase and Enzymes. Finally make up and add the yeast. Leave for 2 week to ferment, then test with a hydrometer and drink hearty!

Disclaimer: This is a very strong mead, for the weak hearted i suggest less nutrient be used.
