Notes
This very dry mead ( a variation of "barkshack ginger mead") was a challenge to input I expect the F.G. To come in at around .992 using dry champagne yeast which I could not find in the recipe maker. Made a change to the Lovibond of buckwheat honey that was listed as mine was around a 35.
Grated Ginger and add everything but yeast, lemongrass and fruit to 1 1/2 gal. Water and boil for 15 min. Remove from heat and remove as much grated ginger as possible
Add fruit steep for 15 min.
Pour into fermentor with 3 1/2 gal. Cool water and lower temp to 70-78 pitch yeast and open ferment for 7 days or until you reach a gravity of 1.020 which ever is first
Rack leaving fruit residue (if any I used juice) by straining, air lock and mature for 1 - 1 1/2 months
Add a Strong lemongrass tea at bottling
Age for at least 1 year with a tasting after 6 months to test mellowing.
