Wildflower Honey – Complex and Floral Honey for Mead Making

Layered Aromatics and Seasonal Character for Unique, Flavorful Meads

Wildflower Honey is a favorite among mead makers who want to craft complex and characterful meads with a true sense of terroir. Sourced from bees foraging a wide array of blooming wildflowers, this honey offers a rich blend of floral, herbal, and earthy notes with seasonal variation that makes each batch unique. It brings depth and personality to your traditional meads, melomels, and braggots.

This varietal has a medium amber color and a bold flavor profile that can stand on its own or complement fruit, spice, and wood additions. If you want your mead to showcase complexity and depth, Wildflower Honey is a great place to start.

Product Highlights:

• Rich Flavor Complexity: Notes of wildflowers, herbs, and subtle spice
• Seasonal Character: Flavor may vary slightly by harvest, creating unique results
• Medium Attenuation: Ferments clean but leaves behind nuanced residual flavors
• Great for Experimentation: Pairs well with berries, citrus, spices, oak, or even hops
• Available Sizes: 3 lb and 6 lb jugs, ideal for small and full-size mead batches

How to Use:

For a 1-gallon batch of traditional mead, use approximately 2.5 - 3 lbs of Wildflower Honey. For 5-gallon batches, aim for 12 - 15 lbs depending on your target ABV. Wildflower Honey dissolves easily into room temperature water but may also be gently warmed in a water bath for easier mixing. Use yeast nutrients like Fermaid O or Fermax to promote a healthy fermentation.

Why Choose Wildflower Honey for Mead:

• Bold, natural flavor with earthy floral complexity
• Perfect for showcasing fermentation character and complementary ingredients
• Adaptable to a wide range of mead styles
• Provides a richer and deeper mead than lighter varietals like clover or orange blossom

Whether you're creating a traditional sipper, a fruit-forward melomel, or experimenting with herbal infusions, Wildflower Honey offers a dynamic and expressive base for creative mead making. It’s especially loved by brewers who embrace the changing seasons and want to highlight a more rustic, natural honey flavor in every batch.
