Started Alresford mead

Based on this mead recipe; made a starter from 200ml white grape juice, 1tsp nutrient, a few dashes of citric acid, a little tannin (quarter of a teaspoon), and 1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient. The kitchen smelled great while boiling the must, despite the little spots of honey all over the place. Took a while to cool - don't pour the mixture into a demijohn until it's below 40c!

OG: 1108


Here's the mead and starter:
