WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes
  1. In a large brew pot, boil 3 gallons of water.

  2. With the pot removed from the burner, add 3.5 lbs honey. Make sure to stir the water so the honey dissolves completely and doesn’t burn on the botttom of the pot. When the honey fully dissolved, return the pot to the burner.

After 15 more minutes add the other ½ oz Centennial hops. with 5 minutes left in the boil, add the other ½ oz Citra hops. (it helps to contain the hops in individual muslin bags)

  4. At the end of the boil, remove the pot from the burner and let cool to about 90 degrees fahrenheit. Remove the hop bags and dissolve the remaining 3.5 lbs of honey

  5. Add the must to a 3 gallon primary fermenter, aerate, and pitch the yeast.

  6. Seal fermentor with airlock and store in a dark place at a temperature of about 70 degrees.

  7. After 2 weeks, with a siphon, re-rack the mead into a sanitized 3 gallon carboy.

  8. Add the cascade leaf hops in a muslin bag to the secondary.

  9. After 2 weeks, re-rack, then let age for 4 months.

  10. Dissolve the corn sugar in 1 cup warm water and add to carboy.

  11. Fill sanitized bottles and let age for at least 2 months.
