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.
www.leeners.com has sake making ingredients i believe and so does the
grape and granary (www.thegrape.net) there are lots of other web
retailers that should be closer to you and you might want to search for
them. Here is one of many sites on making sake

good luck

Rice Wine: Called Sake in the Orient, rice wine is a favorite with the
subtle flavors of Oriental foods.. The Japanese often warm this wine to
about 110 degrees for serving. The warmth gives a whole new dimension to
the wine. Try a Sherry Yeast with this.

1 pound Rice Water to one gallon

1 pound Raisins 3 pounds sugar

1 lemon Wine Yeast starter

Crush the rive coarsely, using a mortar and pestle or something similar.
Put into the primary fermentor and pour boiling water over.. Chop the
raisins and add them, along with half the sugar and the very thinly peeled
shin of the lemon. Use only the colored part of the lemon peel, no white
pith, Stir well to dissolve the sugar, and cover the vessel.

When the must has cooled to about 70 degrees, add the pectic enzyme, the
juice from the lemon and the wine yeast starter. Leave to ferment for 5 to
7 days , stirring every day. Then strain into the secondary jug, add the
rest of the sugar, put the air lock on, and finish in any wine METHOD...

Try it , you will enjoy it....dlt.
