Riesling pyment
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4½ | pounds | Wildflower honey |
| 5½ | pounds | Partial blueberry honey |
| 2 | tablespoons | Acid blend |
| 1 | tablespoon | Pectic enzyme |
| 4 | pounds | Alexander's Johanissberg |
| Riesling extract | ||
| 1 | Pack | |
| Red Star champagne yeast | ||
Directions
Boil honey, acid, enzyme and Riesling extract for 1 hour (I have since learned that honey is best not boiled; subsequent batches have been made by holding the mixture for 2 hours). Cool and pitch yeast. Rack to secondary after 8 days. Bottle after 4 months. This is more winey than your straight mead, but very pleasant. Medium dry and spritzig---very nice as a table wine. Those of you set up to crush your own grapes might try a grape honey mix. A drink of noble history! Primary Ferment: 8 days Secondary Ferment: 48 days
