I made this back in January everything went good yeast got it up to right at 10%, don't have numbers in front on me. My question is does jaom always come out so thick? I have had several meads mostly red stone but they are closer to wine mouth feel and mine is way thicker. I followed original...

Thanks for the feedback ill give it a shot and post the results

Oh after trying it I agree but I am wanting to try and make something close to angry orchard. I haven't tried many ciders so it might be pretty standard. I normally make mead so trying to branch out.

Hey my wife loved this stuff has anyone come up with a similar clone? We tried reds last night and she didn't like it at all. I know the % will be higher with home made but we feel like the reds didn't have as much sweet apple flavor at angry orchard.

Does anyone on here recommend an app to help keep track with different batches? I have brew log and I guess it works but it is set up for beer.

I just made and bottled my first mead. Now I'm wanting to try something easy like the jaom but with different fruits like blackberries, blueberries, peach or strawberry. It will be my second batch so seeing if someone could post some recipes.

Ok so I finally have it another shot and figured out what I was doing wrong. I used a normal stopper in the top with a drilled hole just big enough for my cane. I took it off slid the cane in just holding on by hand and it worked great. After watching a Few youtube videos I'm guessing with the...

Should I cut my racking cane down since I just have a gallon jug? It sticks up pretty high right now.

Ok thanks guys won't have time until Friday but ill let y'all know.

Thanks I'm thinking I didn't have it low enough. I had jug on counter and bottle in sink. And the hose was clear no other problems I can see. Oh and I did end up trying just the hose without the cane.

Ok I know I have pulled a dumb ass move but I can't get my siphon to work, and have now stirred up the yeast (jaom). I made sure bottle is lower than gallon jug, I tried using a racking cane but gave up on that and went straight hose. As soon as I stop sucking it out it stops immediately.

I made my first batch jan 29 and it still is a little hazy but the fruit has dropped. Should I just wait until the end of this month (3rd month)? Worst case how long can I leave it in the jug without affecting flavor too badly? I know the wife wont try it unless its crystal clear.

I made my batch jan 28 and it still is a little hazy but the fruit has dropped. Should I just wait until the end of this month (3rd month)? Has anyone racked jao? I know wife wont try it unless its crystal clear lol.

I have been reading the forums and read ken schramms book and finally made my fist mead. It is a Jaom, and I do eventually want to start making mead more conventionally. But for now was wondering if anyone has tried making something very similar to Jaom but substituted a different fruit or the...

I've heard of honeydew Mellon but never aphid crap being collected lol
