Could I just divide everything by 5 if I wanted to make a gallon of this to give it a try? Thanks

Nice to see that it tastes good! How does it compare to the B-Nektar Tucos? What I have done in the past to add carbonation was to use carbonation tabs and just drop one in each bottle. You do need to make sure that fermentation is done before you drop them in otherwise it could explode due...

Have you tried making the recipe again Masterjuggler? Was thinking about giving it a go too.

Hows it going?

Just checking to see how this is going?

Thats what I was thinking when I was going to try making this. My wife loves it and was planning on trying to tackle this one soon and I was going to start out with a Base mead (was thinking a BOMM) and then back sweeten with agave while adding some lime juice or zest.

I'm also very interested in trying to make this as well but as a one gallon batch. I wasnt sure if you start with a plain mead and then add agave and lime to the secondary or do you add agave with the honey in the primary? definitely interested in how it goes for you.

Thanks I will have to take a look to see which ones my local store carries. I will give it a try and let ya know how it works out.

Just asking if anyone has used those carbonation tabs to make the BOMM mead a sparkling one? It looks like I just drop a tablet in a bottle and then it should be carbed in a week or so. I'm just worried that it would explode. I have never made a sparkling mead before. I assume when I rack...

Awesome I will have to give this a try. How did it turn out? Any adjustments to the recipe?

Quick question. Is this method similar to what the commercial meaderies do? Places like B-Nektar and my local place New Day turn out some great mead but low ABV do they back sweeten? I want to try and make a clone of New Days Breakfast Magpie. Which is a black raspberry coffee mead. It's...

Thanks LOR. I plan on reusing the yeast lees from this batch for another batch so maybe I rack a little earlier than a month so the yeast is ok. My second batch will be another BOMM but I want to add fruit to it in the secondary.

Hello, Just wanted to say that I kicked off my 1 gallon version of Bomm on Friday and its going along nicely. I degassed and added first round of nutrients on Sat. Degassed only on Sunday and will be adding degassing and adding nutrients today. Do people normally let it sit in the primary...
