Re: Sake ingredients

Hi, Where can i find the right ingredients and equipment for

> making Sake near Salt Lake City in Utah?

First, you will need honey

Cox Honey Farms Inc Shelley, ID (208) 357-3226 The Synergy Company Moab, UT (800) 723-0277 Wild Attitude! Pleasant Grove, UT (801) 367-8239 Miller's Honey Co. Salt Lake City, UT (801) 486-8479 Taylor Honey Co. Santa Clara, UT (435) 673-5340

Unless it's Raspberry honey, do NOT pay more than $75 for a

60 lb, 5 gallon bucket. I recommend Clover or Alfalfa. Do not buy western Buskwheat.

When you call the honey sources ask about other mead makers in the area.

You can purchase all your equipment mail order. Use AHA's beertown.org for locating LHBS's (Local HomeBrew store's) near you - shop price for identical equipment and free shipping.

If this is you first mead, Sake is not a good choice. I'd suggest starting with a Traditional Sweet Mead and work your way up to a sake.

I think he wants to make japanese "rice wine" sake.

You need sake rice and koji to make sake. Although you can use regular white rice, it makes an inferior sake. you can get koji and/or koji rice from oriental markets, or you can order it all online.
