Raspberry Mead - 5 Gallon

Raspberry Mead - 5 Gallon...

I was lucky that I found a local source for my mead.
Stickeys who I got 15lbs of honey from. This honey smelled wonderfully.

So Recipe:

15lb Honey
900g Frozen Raspberries
5 tsp Yeast Nutrient
5 tsp Pectolase
2 Cinnimom Sticks
5 Cloves
135gs of orange segmants.
Yeast: Allinson Easy Bake Yeast.

Here is what I did.

Sterilized everything I used.
Added honey to bucket and then added warm to hot water.
Mixed like a mad man till all loose liquid.
I put the raspberries in a bag and added to bucket.
Added everything else.
Checked temp to make sure between 25 - 30 Celsius.
Added yeast.

Everything is going fine at the moment.
Bubbling away like mad.
