I put everything together today. I laid out all of the ingredients except I almost forgot the raisins! I weighed out exactly 3 1/2 pounds of honey.
I got all of the honey dissolved in water. I added the rest of the ingredients except the yeast and shook like crazy. I dissolved the yeast in a tiny bit of water and waited until it foamed up just to be sure it was active. You never know. Before I threw the yeast into the container I measured the specific gravity - 1.112. That is HIGH but expected for a mead. My Liberty Cream Ale ended up being 1.046.
Its been a couple hours and it still hasn't started much bubbling but I'm sure it will.
