#15 Chestnut Varietal Mead
3.75 lb Italian chestnut honey (approx)
1/4 tsp yeast nutrient
water to a few ounces over a gallon
D-47 yeast
Chestnut honey is amazing. I had some in Catalonia and remembered liking it a whole lot, though I was too drunk at the time to do much more than hop up and down or something. It's pretty pricey back here in the states, but I saw it on sale and decided it needed to be in mead. The honey was better than I remember. Think smoke and toasted wood, roasted coffee and a touch of spice, perhaps maple.
I'm making a little over a gallon so I have some reserved for topping off purposes.
