Rehydrate yeast in 10 times it weight of water. Let stand for 15 minutes, stir gently to bring yeast into suspension.
Add honey mixture, remaining ingredients, and water to a total volume of 1.25 gallons in fermenter. Aerate well with drill and mixer for 5 minutes.
Take gravity reading.
Pitch yeast, cover and let sit for 24 hrs.
Degas and aerate twice per day for the first 5 days of fermentation.
At 24, 48, and 72 hours after pitching yeast, add Fermaid O to must at dosing rates based on the following calculations (https://www.meadmaderight.com/tosna.html)
On day 5 add final nutrient dose.
Primary fermentation 4-6 weeks. Mead should start to clear.
