Mead made from old honey

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 7 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make mead from old honey? Prepare the required amount of old honey. In my case the honey is very old. It has been standing for about 8 years. During this time, the honey has darkened significantly and even a sediment has appeared. No problem, this one will work just fine too.

2. STEP 2

   

   Also measure out the required amount of raisins, hops and yeast. It is best to purchase hops and yeast from a specialty store. My hops are granulated, and the yeast is special for mead.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the required amount of water into the pan and bring it to a boil. Dissolve honey in water and boil everything together over low heat for 5-7 minutes. When boiling, foam will form - it must be removed. Then cool the broth to a warm temperature.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour it into a slightly larger glass jar. Add raisins (unwashed), yeast, spices and hops. Mix well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the jar with a layer of gauze and put it in a warm place for several days to ferment. This will take 5-7 days.

6. STEP 6

   

   When fermentation is complete, strain the product through several layers of gauze. Pour the resulting liquid into bottles and seal tightly. Place the bottles in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months to infuse.
