Started a new batch of apple melomel. We used the steam juicer for the apple juice.

We got a beautiful juice out of this. It seems that we got the juice without the pectin.
My recipe
2 gallons of juice
1/2 cup of nettle tea. this replaces the yeast nutrient.
1 lime
1 3/4 quarts of local honey
A bit of yeast from my stock.
And a pinch of bee pollen
I put these in the 2 gallon redwing crocks for about a week before I rack them over to an airlock container.
I save my yeast in a bottle in the fridge and reuse it.
This so far has worked quite well.

I am slowly changing over from making wine and ale to using honey. Making Meade and Melomel
All pictures are my own.

That looks really good. Thanks for sharing the recipe

This is new territory. I have made wine for a while now.
Also fining natural available alternatives to the different ingredients is fun.
