Pour wort through strainer into 5 gal. fermenter over 16 lb. honey. Fill with cold water to 5 gal. Cool to 75 degrees, aereate well and pitch yeast. Check in 3 weeks to see if fermente is cleared. Once cleared rack into secondary fermenter. Repeat process until final gravity reaches around 1.020. Bottle and let set for 9 to 10 months. Honey takes a long time to ferment and needs time to mellow as well.

Any suggestions on how this turned out? I'm looking for a mead recipe to be my first one, and I thought molasses would be a nice addition. Dan Dandbrew@comcast.net
