Ingredients

11 Lbs Honey
50 Grams Hops
3 Tsps Wine
4 Tsps Yeast Nutrients
2 Cups Tea
2 Cups Water

Instructions

Dilute the honey in boiling water. Boil for a little while, stir and remove the foam which forms on the top. Boil the hops in two or three liters of water for a couple of minutes
Mix all in a big bucket and add two cups of tea. Cover with a piece of cloth and let it cool down
Add yeast and yeast nutrients. Now stir two times per day for about 6 days. Then sieve the must through a double cotton cloth
Add boiled water (cooled down) until 20 liters. Keep it in a glass container under a water lock. When the fermentation has almost stopped (s.g. about 1.002) siphon one time
Bottle and keep it for a few month to mature. Often it turns out to be slightly sparkling wine because at the time of bottling there are still some sugars present. Enjoy!
