Where do you pick up prickly pears? Are they a local thing, I have never seen any.
Central Texas is overrun with them. If you want to do some kind of trade, I can send you 10 pounds or so once the fruit starts showing. I have seen them at Whole Foods, but I don't know if that's available where you live.
wow that looks like liquid hotness. Papazian's description of his prickly pear mead was enough to make me want to brew it. Someday I hope to give it a go.
Do I understand that that mead was in primary for 5 months? Seems a bit long, does it taste a bit yeasty?

Yes it was in the primary for 2 months with first fruit addition the second addition went straight into the primary and it sat another 5 months.. I split the total fruit used into 2 additions.
This is not long for mead at all. I will rack a 3rd time before bottling and it will be crystal clear when I bottle.
Does it taste yeasty? I don't anticipate it will considering it will be as clear as water when it's bottled.
yeah me too. I think i'm going to try this for my first mead experiment. Just have to find the prickly guys first. I'm guessing somewhere in LA is a place to get them.
