Sweet Orange Blossom Mead
This will be my first hack at meadmaking, and I’m quite excited. I’m estimating that I’ll end up bottling this batch in late July, meaning that it’ll be ready to drink just in time for the Christmas season. :-)

Yeast
- Lalvin 71B-1122 – “Narbonne”
Other
- 2 vials of Go-Ferm rehydration nutrient
- 4 sachets of Curt & Kathy’s Nutrient blend (1 at pitching and 1 at each 24-hour mark for three days)

Erik! Your making Mead….After I’m done with my batch of Red Zin I’ll also be making mead. YES!
