I read a recipe for a beginner's mead a while back, and I can't seem 
to find it again... 

It was written in a very cute/conversational style. 

I want to say it was 2# honey in a gallon jug, 1 orange, a handful of 
raisins, and Bread yeast... 

anyone?

There might be a relevant link on

Look for Ken Schramm's article Mastering mead: Optimizing Honey 
Fermentation, 
If the document isn't to your liking initially, then scroll down to 
fermentation protocol about nutrient additions and the time you have to add 
it. 

>From the same author, I think, I read that leaving too much unused nutrients 
in the mead while it's not dry, increases the danger of in-bottle 
re-fermentation. 
So with sweet meads you need to be careful. 
Very interesting reading for the "molecular cooks" among us. 
And for the impatient spouses: you can't hurry love, you'll just have to 
wait. You can't hurry mead. You can't hurry mead, made with love. 
And you certainly should not hurry drinking mead made with love, while 
drinking it with your love. 
I feel a song coming on. 

Cheers, 
Wout
