1 pint strawberries
3 cups clover honey
12 cups H2O
1) Smash the berries. Add the H2O and honey. Mix it all up.
2) Stir at least twice a day until its good and foamy. Keep it up for a few more days.
3) Strain and transfer to secondary. Airlock it. Leave it alone.
4) If you don't drink it young, rack it whenever you feel the urge.
Last time we tasted it after about a month and liked it a lot, it was sweet but not too sweet, and a bit fizzy. We drank the rest a few month later and liked it even more. It was dry (maybe a tiny bit sweet, I don't remember exactly) with really delicate strawberry and honey aftertastes. This time I'm going to try to bottle and age it, but we'll see how that goes. (Bran really likes this one.)

OK:
1. thanks for posting these recipes. I was about to bug you.
2. When you are mixing and stirring, before transferring and airlocking, is this covered? Uncovered? I am guessing not airlocked, at least. I have a bucket with a hole in the middle of the lid - would that work?
3. Leave it alone for how long? Does it clear? Do I rack?
See here :-)
