wannabemystiker, Danish Mjød-Making Dag!
Today, I started a gallon (3.8 l) batch of brombær mjød and a gallon batch of solbær mjød.
For each batch, I used 1.36 kg of honey, 25 g of raisins, 4.2 l of water, and a 5 g packet of Lalvin D-47 yeast. For the fruit, I used 1.4 kg of brombær and 290 g of solbær (I would have liked to use more solbær but that's all I could harvest).
In about a week or so, I will strain and rack these into glass jugs and let them continue to ferment.
