You can get enough honey and yeast to make a one gallon Traditional Mead for $20. You can not, however, put a price on the amount of patience you need to wait for it to finish clearing... You'll see what I mean, but if you're lucky... you won't ever go through this. #meadmaking #wine #honey #patience

1:15 Honey + Water
3:05 Yeast Pitching

For the longest time I just assumed plain meads were meh, til I recently learned the cheap stuff at the grocery store might not actually be real honey! It doesn't vibe with the name "Cheap Brews" I guess haha but using real honey is such a game changer.
I don't worry about getting any of my brews perfectly clear either though. I don't even really use fining agents. Whatever haza is left after a year is probably there to stay for me lol
