Edain - lemon mead

At the mead contest at Wasteland somebody had an amazing lemon mead. He'd gone through some super convoluted process with it (apparently it had been infected, they boiled it to sterilise it and boiled it down to a syrup, diluted it again and pitched it with champagne yeast?!)

That's clearly not repeatable but I figured I'd give lemon mead a go.

Edain
  • 2000 gr flower honey
  • 500 ml organic lemon juice (was gonna do 1 liter but figured it'd be too acidic for the yeast to work; might still be, we'll see)
  • Mead yeast, because that's what I had
  • Bit of yeast energiser to kick things off

Overnight update: we have liftoff! Nice steady bubbling
