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)!

How much prIming sugar for Mannaz?

There are a lot of variables when it comes to priming sugar, so we recommend that you use a calculator like this one: https://www.northernbrewer.com/pages/priming-sugar-calculator
and aim for 2.5 volumes of CO2.

I am noticing some sulfur smells coming from my batch during fermentation. Is this normal and what are some remedies if not.

Hi Carson,
That's totally normal! Check out our article on this subject: https://www.groennfell.com/blog/oh-christ-whats-that-smell

You can also do some best practices that will reduce the chances of having this smell (or as much of it) in the first place. Check out this article: https://www.groennfell.com/blog/making-mead-at-home-an-incredibly-contentious-article

Happy meadmaking!
Cheers,
Kelly
