Okay what I'm thinking is put 12.5 lb(sams club 100 percent pure honey 5 of the big bottles that come in pairs for 5 pounds I have another about full also that I plan to use part of to get the starter going good) into a 4 gallon carboy (I kinda figure boiling the water adding the honey cooling it and adding it to the carboy would be the way to go but not certain if I'd be better off just boiling up some of the water with the honey mixing it in with rest of the water) I am thinking about using the malta goya yeast to pitch it I know a lot of people say the simple sugars make it not work as quick but honey of course has the simple sugars that it could work on I have no idea what kind of abv could be possible and I understand this wouldn't be a pure mead I actually got 2 of them I figure it would be far short of a braggot but still add some flavor I may decide to dry hop it as well also my main question is what type of yeast is in Malta goya and how would make a starter with honey and malta goya instead of yeast and wort? Thanks I've only done a few brews so far
