It varied a lot between all of us doing it. Mine took about 2.5 to 3 months but I didn't bottle it until it was 14 months old. When I bottled, it was very smooth and vanilla-y. By far the best mead I've made so far but we have until 2012 leap day before we "officially" drink it. ![]()

Haha I only have about 5 bottles left, I think. I only did a 1 gallon batch. I plan on saving them until 2012, sampling at each 1 year mark. I bottled 2 in brown bottles for BJCP competitions in the future, hopefully they will make it to competition some day! |
