Hello
And sorry for not give you a fast recall.No Woodhoney is from the blossoms of the Tanne (Tannenbaum/Christmastree).The Beehives stand in the Wood.
And so they get only the honey from the trees not from flowers.
hello
dont use a petri dish with vodka.You only get more fruitflys.(the petry has more space then the small Airlock)Put a small teabag over the Airlock and change the water regular.Shake the batch too.Work very very clean.
Hello Ragnar
The Berrys you have ,can be Moosberry a kind of cranberry.
The Honey is right.I hope you have cleaned the Barrel with sulphur .
But true Mead is only Honey and water.With Fruits in it ,it is a Melomal.
A Barrel looks fine but hardy to use and clean before the first racking...
Woodhoney or Foresthoney is were the Bees collect it.Very spicy and the flavor of "Tannenbaum".
For Revvy:No Humans were killed or Cooked for it.
I only cook the Mead after 21 Days to kill all the Yeast.So it last longer.

The first 7 days must be stormy for the mead.But befor the juice and the yeast must have
the same temp.(or the yeast die or sleep...by wrong temp)
