I've never really tasted mead before, but I think this is delicious! I can mainly taste the orange, with a hint of honey in the background. Quite dry, but very pleasant.
Dangerously easy to drink! The calculated 14 % abv isn't noticable at all! How will this end?   OG was 1.102, FG 0.999.
(some stirred up sediment there in the second picture) |
So you made a Joe's Orange Cinnamon Clove mead that uses bread yeast(which turns out sweet), except you left out the Cinnamon and Clove, switched the bread yeast for 71B yeast, and yours came out dry...
I believe at some point you can stop calling it a JAOM and just name it after yourself... lol. Right on, though.
On a similar note, I made a dunkaccino, but instead of coffe and hot chocolate, I used honey and water... |

Hope the pics uploaded!
My first batch
This is the Big Heathen:
24 lbs honey( just Costco crap)
ABV is at 19% and it's been aging about 10 months now, the last few with oak chips. It tastes like honey/vodka only better so I'll let it mellow a bit more, but aside from crap honey and jet fuel capabilities it does taste great!
Thanks.

I did:
8 tea bags of my favorite passion fruit tea steeped for 3 minutes in 3/4 gallon water brought to a boil, 64oz. Of raw, uncooked honey added when temp dropped to 160f. Moved to a 1 gallon jug, pitched. I have transferred, then cold crashed and transferred again. |

here is my orange mead still in the primary for 3 months right now. The fruit is slowly dropping but probably move or bottle it before that.
