Those beer folks have one. And excluded us Meadheads for one reason or another.
So let's see how many gallons we've made combined this year. Just add your totals in to the last person to post. I'll go first obviously.

We will go by Brew date and not bottled date, so as long as yeast is pitched between Jan1 and Dec 31, 2013; it counts

1 gallon of Bochet
1 gallon of wild blueberry maple
1 gallon caramel apple pie
1 gallon perry pyment
2 gallons of Lambic mead
1 gallon thee honey traditional
1 gallon of spiced hydromel

= 8
 
I've made my first two meads this year. Mixed Berry melomel and JAOM.



8+2= 10 gallons.
 
5L of vanilla chai mead
5L of blueberry melomel
5L of cherry melomer

5L = ~1.32 gallons = ~4 gallons total for the moment
 
I've got a little over 6 gallons of traditional going (for now, until I decide to rack it onto something), so let's just call it 6, since there will be racking losses.

19+6=25
 
5 gal traditional
1 gal strawberry
1 gal mixed berry

49 + 7 = 56
 
So far this year I have:

5gal semi-sweet orange melomel
5gal bochet braggot hopped metheglyn (I need a better name for this one)
2L dry blueberry melomel

None of them are in bottles yet, but they're tasting better and better every time I take a sample, especially the orange melomel.
 
the goofy above me forgot to do the math so

his 11+58 = 69 dude!

plus my

1 gallon of blueberry melomel
1 gallon of blackberry melomel

71 gallons.
 
Um, let's see,

5 gallons wild raspberry
3 gallons traditional
1 gallon blood orange passionfruit
1 gallon tropical
3 gallons cherry chipotle
1 gallon hibiscus JOAM varient
1 gallon prickly pear lime

So 15.

72+15= 87
 
For this year so far:

1 Gal Orange Spiced Mead
2 Gal Lemonade Mead
1 Gal Joe's Quick Grape Mead
1 Gal Cherry Berry Mead
1 Gal Chipotle Capiscumel
1 Gal Cinnamon Peach Mead
2 Gal Apple Clove Mead
1 Gal Creamsicle Mead

95 + 10 = 105
 
1 gallon apple pie mead
1 gallon blueberry melomel
1 gallon raspberry melomel
1 gallon Niagara peach
10 gallon joes quick grape


105 + 14 = 119
 
1 gal cyser
1 gal cherry melomel
2 gal JAOM lemon variant
1 gal acerglin
5 gal traditional
5 gal strawberry melomel
5 gal mixed berry melomel
5 gal JAOM.

125 + 25 = 150
 
1 gallon strawberry melomel
5 gallon lemon melomel (skeeter mead)
1/2 gallon bochet

150 + 6.5 = 156.5
 
3 gal jaom
3 gal cherry melomel
3 gal apricot melomel
3 gal strawberry melomel

156.5 + 12 = 168.5
 
Love it! Two tallies to add to!

1 gal. Concord melomel
1 gal. Orange mead (not JAOM)
1 gal. Green tea mead

Total 173.5
 
2 gallons of a poppy seed mead
4 gallons of a blackberry melomel
5 gallons of a Serrano pepper/pepper honey capsumel

173.5 + 11 = 184.5
 
I felt kinda bummed I couldn't add my mead to the brew thread. I feel better now!

212 + 2 gallons of Joe's Ancient Orange = 214.
