Viking time!

Our first test batch of mead.  Honey, water, yeast and a couple of raisins.  A little batch in a 2L mason jar.  Cath loves all sorts of stuff related to potions/lotions/fermenting...so she was keen to do this in anticipation of collecting honey from her bees.  We'll see how it goes!

2nd test batch was 1 gallon, honey, water, yeast (a full packet) and things started a bit warmer.  Maybe too warm/active too quickly...it started bubbling in about 15min and frothed up a bit.

Yes...J's too young to be drinking, but her handwriting is neater than mine!
