Honeydew Melon Mead

"Honeydew Melon Mead: A delicate and full-bodied mead made with ripe honeydew melons and wildflower honey, capturing the subtle melon flavor with a smooth finish. Serves 10. Ingredients include 3.5 large very ripe honeydew melons, 1 lb local wildflower honey for start and 7 oz for back sweetening, 1 packet yeast D47, Go-Ferm yeast nutrient, and Opti-White yeast nutrient. Equipment needed: carboy, fermentation bucket, cheesecloth, airlock. Steps: prepare melons by removing seeds and skin, add 1 lb honey, pitch yeast with nutrients, ferment in carboy or bucket, use cheesecloth if no airlock, ferment until final gravity around 1.0, stabilize and back sweeten with 7 oz honey, allow to clear, bottle and age as desired. Notes: use very ripe melons for best flavor, light-bodied with about 10% ABV, patience is key for flavor development."
