While my specific choice of supermarket juice left a lot to be desired thanks to those artificial sweeteners, the actual fermentation protocol, yeast selection (Lalvin D47), and honey ratios were rock solid. This recipe successfully powered through a massive gravity drop (1.086 to 1.000) to create a crystal-clear, vibrant pink 11% mead.
