Lemondrop

Viking BloodWe’re back with another take on fermented lemonades in the same vein as “Skeeter Pee.” This time it’s a fermented HONEY lemonade hydromel session mead. We carbonated and kegged this batch, but you could also backsweeten with erythritol and prime with priming sugar to bottle condition! Either way, this citrusy lemonade mead is a smooth sipper, and wonderful summer drink!

• 2 lemons’ zest and juice
• 5 grams wine tannin
• water to 4.5 gallons us
