where is the second part?

@carcano38 Thats not true at all. He's using a wine yeast which will ferment out most if not all the sugar. Leaving a semi sweet to dry wine. 3lb of honey per gallon is pretty standard fvor mead. You need to go read a book on the subject

@carcano38 Actually 15lbs of honey to 5 gallons of water will make a mildly sweet mead. In fact that is a pretty standard recipe among the mead lovers. A good book would be the "compleat mead maker." And before any grammar police pull me over I realize "complete" is spelled wrong. They use the old english spelling of the word

@chefcolby1 as a nutrient maybe...

@Nightrain80 I saw one recipe where they said you added the honey until an egg floated to a certain depth. Pretty ingenious to me.

why the bee pollen

is that the handle of an old craftsman screwdriver?
Since it is an ancient wine, what people were using instead of hydrometer? They just knew mesurament?

@Nightrain80 Maybe they had a recipe like "3 ram's horns of water, 1 of honey, boil in a goat's intestine until you get drunk" ....?
