I have traditional going now with a little lemon in it, plan on trying to get my buddies in a
big batch like 20 gallons or so, but don't know what kind yet. Definitely more cysers, and I

I'm way too late to this discussion for my suggestion to make a difference now, but if you try
this again in the future you should add ginger to it. Sounds wierd but carrot ginger soup is

If you modify joes ancient orange mead to have strawberries in you should do okay. I'd use a
different yeast and remember to chunk the strawberries not purée them. Keep at least some
orange in it, tak...Posted in thread: Really Really Traditional Mead on 12-28-2012 at 03:07 AM

Wait until ghe bubbling really slows down, like alot. Unless your sitting on a lot of lees,

Several days at room temp shouldn't be a problem, honey kills Most everything it touches, hence
it not fermenting right now. The 1116 is top notch yeast for meads though, if it don't start
there there...Posted in thread: Mediciny mead on 12-13-2012 at 03:43 AM
Try using the same recipe in a small batch with bottled water, or buy some water additives and
try them in small batches. The additives may be a longer process but in the long run you'll be
able to ma...Posted in thread: Two tone mead on 12-13-2012 at 03:38 AM
Thank you guys for all the input, I'll rack in a couple days again into a few 1 gal carboys so
