So - Got my hands on About twenty pounds of honey, which I’m going to use to make my first mead, a traditional mead.
Been watching ‘Doin’ the most’ and ‘man made mead’ to get some simple recipes.
Doin’ the most adds 8 GRAMS OF TANNIN to a 5 gallon batch. That seems like a CRAZY amount of tannin. I’ve been making cider for a while where 1/4-1/2 tsp is more than enough !
Can someone confirm that this is reasonable for meas? It seems so excessive that I am wondering if there are different ‘strengths’ of tannin powder?
Any help appreciated
