First mead batch in make, I need some supervision here.

Target batch of 7gal total; 15-20%ABV

current supplies on hand:
- 7.9gal fermentation bucket and herculometer (Sanitized)
- 25lbs of honey
- 20g of EC-1118 wine yeast
- All the water

I have some vague awareness that the yeast need is beyond just the honey, but that is the full extent of my scientific knowledge.

I could not find reliable information on a batch this size. Usable information on nutrients, how to administer them, nor tending is nowhere to be found.

Honey and yeast means booze but I have no idea what I’m supposed to do after.

Current recipe:
-Honey
-Water
-Yeast
-????

-Booze!

Please save me from making 7 gallons of shit soup,
Thanks.
