Wash for drinking
Description
Mead is an excellent fermented beverage that can be made from jam or juice. Homemade mead typically reaches an alcohol content of about 15 degrees. Preparing it at home will not be difficult for you. The recipe thoroughly describes and shows all the stages of mead production. The fermentation process should last at least 7 days. If fermentation stops earlier, add a small amount of diluted yeast (just a couple of grams). Finished mead should not be sweet; it will have a slightly bitter taste with a tangy flavor. The drink is ready to serve.

The taste and color of the mash will vary depending on the type of jam used. By the way, it's better to use sweet jam made with 1 kg of sugar per 1 kg of berries.

Step 7
Fill the jars not to the very top, then tightly place rubber gloves on them. Make small punctures in the glove fingers with a needle—this is where the gas will escape. Put the jars in a warm, dark place until fermentation is complete. Stir the mash once a day. When the gloves deflate and the mash becomes clear, fermentation is finished. Carefully pour off the mash, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Filter it once again and place it in the refrigerator.
