Mannaz Mead is our lightest mead and the first product we ever made.

Mannaz Clone Recipe
5 Gallon/19L
OG = 1.035
FG = .998
ABV = 4.9% abv.

Ingredients:

5 lbs Raw Wildflower Honey
4.5 Gallons Water
1 oz. Wyeast Wine Yeast Nutrient
5 Campden Tablets (if desired)
1 Packet of Wyeast Dry Mead

Step by Step
Combine the first four ingredients at 104°F (40°C) stirring vigorously to aerate.
Wait 24 hours for the sulfites to do their thing, then sprinkle the dry yeast over the top of the must.
Maintain the fermentation at about 62°F (17°C).
Bottle (with priming sugar) or keg when bubbling has completely stopped (should be 14 days).
Enjoy in a week or two!

Gentlemen, I have been making Melons, Cysers and spiced high ABV Meads for a number of years. Had been looking for a good Session Mead recipe and after running into your site ran a few batches using a couple of your recipes. I apprecuate your willingness to share your expertise and am quickly becoming a lower ABV carbonated Mead drinker.

Nicely done and greatly appreciated.

Hello,thanks for sharing your recipes. Just noticed a possible error in your Mannaz recipe. According to google, 62F is 17C not 30C. I was wondering which temperature was correct for the fermentation.

Good catch! It's supposed to be 62F (17C). We've corrected the recipe!

Hi ! There seems to be a typo for the fermentation temperature. Maintained at 62 F or 30 C ? 62F is about 16 C, not 30 C.

Tks, love that you share your recipes !

It's supposed to be 62F (so 16 or 17 degrees C). Thank you so much for pointing that out! We've corrected the recipe.

When you say enjoy in a week or two. Does that mean age for another week or do you mean they only last that long.

Great question! It means to wait a week or two for the mead to carbonate. It usually lasts for years (unless you drink it all first)!
