As an added bonus, you can sorta see my reflection. Mostly off my balding head.

Ok, my friends and I sampled this last night (@1 month in). The spices taste light, very much in the background. Lots of sweet apple flavor, tastes like a rather thin apple cider. Definitely needs time to acquire spiritual creaminess, but so far so good.

Good on ya.
Making a spiced cyser myself (cinnamon and cloves, TONS of unfiltered apple juice and apples)

I used a champagne yeast though, so it's turning into more of a sack mead with apple and spice hints.

Additionally, the yeast refuses to flocculate. I think it's trying to reach 20% ABV, despite being rated for only 16%. It's doing a damn fine job of it too. 18~% and still bubbling every 20 seconds for the past week.

If I want this to sparkle, can I rack into a grolsch bottle, add a teaspoon of honey or corn sugar, shake to combine and then cork? Or will this make essentially a personel targeting fragmentation grenade?

Ok, in case anyone is still interested in this particular brew, I had two (or three) glasses last night. Woo Hoo Dilly! I like it! I like it a lot!

It had a big cardomom punch, a little acidic spiciness that I think will mellow with age. Had a decidedly "meady" overtone and nice legs when I swirled the glass. I always did like nice legs.

Since I have a palate like a slab of leather could I encourage one of you to brew up the same and tell me what you think? I know its not differentiated enough to be a recipe perse (its essentially JAOM with a twist) so I have to give Joe all the credit, but this is definitely interesting, at least to me. I also think it would be nice if served hot with a cinammon stick hanging out of it....

I may try this minus the anise depending on how much cider I have left over post the couple batches of graff I plan to make. A bit surprised it is so "drinkable" after only one month though. If I make it I wont touch it for probably 6 months when i would pull the first sample.

Hehe, I got enough outer hippy to worry about the inner hippy ;-).

I polished this stuff off and started another batch. One thing to mention, killer cardomom heart burn! That will likely reduce with age though, I'm thinking.
