128 oz. Corn syrup
3 cps. Honey
3 Tbsp. Lemon juice fresh
Kv 1116 yeast 5grams
2 1/2 tsp. Yeast nutrient
2 tsp. Yeast energizer
Makes 5.5 gallon batch
I took 1 gallon of water and brought to low boil then shut off and added honey, syrup and lemon juice and let it cool. While cooling i added 3.75 more gallons of water stirring it into 5.5 g. carboy. Let cool to 70°f then added yeast and yeast nutrient. Put airlock on it. Started real slow so 2 days later i added energizer. A few days later it was foaming pretty good. Still is. 12 days in. It dropped temp a little and slowed down now its gassing through about every 4 seconds and still foamy and bubbly on top. I dont know the starting gravity because i dont have a hydrometer. This is my first try at a mead. Hope it turns out well.
Any advise is welcome
