I finally started my first batches of mead and wine, here in Sunrise, IN.<\/p>\n

The mead is a variant on the \u201cAncient Orange<\/a>\u201d recipe, which I will reproduce here because there just can\u2019t bee too many copies of mead recipes on the Internet.\u00a0 The wine was my most basic Spiced Apple Cider wine.<\/p>\n

Satyr Magos\u2019 Ancient Orange Mead<\/p>\n

4.5 cups local honey (~3.5lbs)<\/p>\n

1 stick cinnamon<\/p>\n

2 whole cloves<\/p>\n

1 whole large navel <\/p>\n

1 pkt bread yeast<\/p>\n

~3\/4 gallon of water blessed at the full moon (oh, yeah: I went there)<\/p>\n

I warmed the honey in an equal volume of water, though the recipe didn\u2019t call for it.\u00a0 I find it makes it much easier to get into the bottle without a mess.\u00a0 While that was coming to temperature, I sliced the orange and put it, the cinammon, and the cloves in the bottle.\u00a0 I then poured the hone-water through a funnel into the carboy, added the yeast, and filled the carboy most of the way with water \u2013 being certain to leave enough room for froth and sturm und drang \u2013 and mixed it by shaking vigorously.\u00a0 I stuffed in the airlock and will call it \u201cdone\u201d when it clears \u2026 hopefully in time for my birthday in the time of the Prince of Swords.<\/p>\n

Satyr Magos Apple Cider Wine<\/p>\n

1 gal. apple cider<\/p>\n

1 stick cinnamon<\/p>\n

3 whole cloves<\/p>\n

1 pk Lavlin DC47 wine yeast<\/p>\n

Pour one glass of cider and drink it.\u00a0 Add the spices and the yeast.\u00a0 Shake vigorously and add airlock.\u00a0 Set aside for as long as you can stand to wait, though I recommend at least a year.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll add nutmeg and a few other things as I get my ands on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
