I wanted a short mead that would be ready in couple of weeks as the weather is getting warmer. Tis the season for Hefe's. I ended up making this 6% ABV which is a little strong for Hefe's but what the hell.
5.5 gallons OB Hefe extract recipe
4.5 lbs OB raw honey from Florida
3.3 lbs Wheat DME
.5 lbs Carapils
1.5 oz German Hallertau hops
White labs 611 from the vault
Steeped the Carapils at 160 deg F for 30 minutes in 3.5 gallons . Brought the water to boil and added DME and hops for 60 min. Added honey while cooling down the must. Pitched yeast.
pH: Don't care it's low ABV
OG: 1.062
