I have inherited about 80-100 lbs of wildflower honey from my grandfather who died this past fall. Grandpa Jake did things a little different so you’ll notice that the honey looks more like molasses. It has a very strong honey flavor but most of the family doesn’t care for it for everyday use. So, I’ve decided to attempt to make a Mead (honey wine) with it. It is now fermenting away upstairs. Hopefully it will turn out to be a one-of-a-kind, much like Grandpa Jake!


I stirred the must (honey water) for about 15 mins hoping to give those little yeast animals plenty of oxygen to help them do what they do best.

Hydrating yeast, anxious to be dumped into that sugary bucket.

Wheeeeeee! Here we go!
