Miller's Honey, Wild, 3-Pound Jar (Pack of 2) Three pounds of honey is perfect for making a medium sweet one gallon batch of mead. This package contains two 3-pound jugs. If you are going to make a 5 gallon batch of mead I recommend you use between 12 pounds of honey (for a dry mead) and 18 pounds of honey for a sweet mead.
