Hi everyone! I decided to this thread in hope to find a good ginger mead recipe. Not the best one but a good one.... Yes, I spent some time on this forum, I Googled it but couldn't find any recipe I like.
Almost all recipes I found are differ on amount of ginger per gallon of must and other ingredients...
I am planning to make 4 gallons of ginger mead with 12 pounds of honey. I didn't decide yest on what yest I should use: Lalvin 1118, Lalvin 1116 or 71B... Expect OG 1,120 or 1.115 - not less... Half pound of ginger (per gallon of must) along with pectic enzymes to be added to secondary fermentation. Not sure how much lemon juice and lemon zest to add... Ferment till SG is 1.000 (hopefully) which should give me around 15 ABV. I am planning to force carbonate mead in 3-4 month....
I am lookin forward for your suggestions and advices. Please let me know if I missed something. Thank you all!
