I finally got round to getting some demijohns, as opposed to the 5L water bottles, so with the new possibility of long-term fermentation and storage, I decided to get some honey-based things on the go. A basic mead, a cyser and a melomel. These were basically nicked and adapted from the recipes of @Cqr and @BeerCat on the mead thread.
Brew#26 Mead
4 Jars of the Tesco 99p value honey, dissolved in a bit of boiling water
1 5g pack Wilko Gervin universal wine yeast, made into starter
1tsp yeast nutrient
0.5 tsp citric acid
Topped up in demijohn
Brew#27 Cyser
3 jars Tesco value honey
3L Tesco apple juice
1 pack wilko gervin universal wine yeast, made into starter
0.5 tsp pectolase
1 tsp yeast nutrient
0.5tsp citric acid
Brew#28 Blackcurrant Melomel
3 jars Tesco value honey
1 jar tesco blackcurrent jam
1 tsp pectolase
0.5 tsp citric acid
