Notes
Wyeast 3184 Sweet Mead yeast used (not in calculator). Love Libations herbal blend available here: http://www.sandwichvillageherb.com/ I'm pretty sure it's their own blend, as I haven't seen it anywhere else, let alone heard of it. I have no idea what's in it other then rosebuds.

1-2 will of these will knock most people on their ass. Be careful with this stuff. The sage plant contains thujone, which is the active ingredient in absinthe... this stuff is crazy!!
