Batch1 VH001 Created 9/16/09 @10:20p

my wife and I used a recipe I found on Storm the Castle dot com (they are a great resource please check them out) we started our first batch of mead...

the recipe we used was

1 Gallon of Spring Water (room temperature, do not get refrigerated)
4 pounds of honey – pure unprocessed (we used 4 instead of 3 cause my wife likes sweeter drinks)
1 bag of balloons big enough to stretch over the mouth of the spring water jug
1 package of Fleishmann’s Yeast
1 box of raisins
1 Orange

we followed the directions on the link above to the letter with the exception of the honey amount... I will update blogs as we progress and add new blogs as I make new batches and I buy new equipment...

and now we wait...
