Hey, if it is your first batch, I think that it would be better than some unknown generic clover from who knows where. If it is truly unheated and minimally processed, you'll likely make a very good mead with it! I use something similar from Madhava here in Colorado. They're a local packer and they purchase honey from a lot of small beekeepers here along the Front Range. They're perfectly fine for my melomels, and the "wild ferment" batch that I made from their clover variety is actually quite complex and good.

I think you're fine to try Cole's Wild Mountain -- and if it turns out well you'll be the first to tell us all, right? ;)
 
Well, it says unblended, unfiltered, undiluted, and uncooked and U.S. Grade A Fancy w/e that means . Anyways i'll start this up as soon as the yeast and nutrient shipment comes in (hoping tomorrow) so i'll let everyone know.

Thx again.
 
Hi JJ,

Welcome to GotMead!

jjwtayWrote: "Also, has anyone used a Carlo Rossi bottle as a 1 gallon carboy...."
Yes, I use them with a 6-1/2 drilled stopper. It fits just fine in the smaller neck. Also, you haven't mentioned if you already have a thermometer, a hydrometer, etc...
To answer your question about store honey vs Millers. ALL store honey is pasturized. Raw honey is preferred.

Well this has RAW right on the label so idk, and yes I do have a hydrometer, thermometer and it kinda goes on from there.
