Grape Mead (Pyment)
Quick, fast-clearing grape mead (pyment) made with Welch's grape juice and honey, backsweetened and stabilized after primary. Closest available type is Grape Wine (pyment itself is not one of the 8 listed types). Yeast dose not specified in source, standard 5g packet assumed. Buckwheat honey's exact role is disputed in the source discussion (nutrient boost vs flavor), kept here as a small flavor addition. Backsweetened to a sweet finish by default; for a lighter, semi-sweet result use 4oz honey instead of 6oz at the backsweetening step. Source reports the mead was ready to drink in about 5 weeks.
