I've got two gallons of tupelo honey/pineapple/coconut melomel (Pinacoladamel?) going. It's a really nice honey...

I think this sounds phenomenal. Good luck. Don't ditch the vanilla bean!

well, we are stretching out the definition of mead a bit .. I tend to think simply using a percentage of honey as a fermentable does not a mead make as well....

Did you boil your mead?

I am especially not a fan of Redstone. I do find, interestingly enough, that now that I've tried what I would consider a good representative sampling of home created meads that they are far and away less sweet and tastier than Commercial meads (So far I have had Starrlight, Redstone --two...

1. When it stops fermenting 2. when it stops fermenting but i would think it'd be a PITA to do it at bottling time (but sure, you could) 3. no, see #2

I regret not making a JAOM first, but do whatever your fancy dictates! This is a hobby and you aren't guaranteed one minute in the future to do less than what you want to do. I think there is something to be said in emulating a well regarded simple recipe from a learning curve standpoint...

i threw up in my mouth a little bit thinking about it but then again, i hate celery... good luck with it...

If you are near a store (petco, petsmart, I'm sure others) that sells aquariums you can buy a hydrometer for far less than the cost of 3.5lbs of honey (petco sells one for 3.99 that has a combo thermometer/hydrometer together). I saw where you put your first mead at 16-18% ABV. How did you...

I would think getting a hydrometer would be a pretty good start. Are you making this one with baker's yeast as well?

Hanas, you should invest in a hydrometer to measure specific gravity and use that for indications of fermentation. Otherwise you are just guessing as to what is going on with your mead.

Awesome. Good luck with it. Looks great!

A two week baker's yeast mead that tastes dry?

really? wow. I have meads I started in late Dec that are still not at FG and certainly not drinkable.. what yeast did you use? Is it sweet or dry?

don't tase me bro! http://ghosttasers.ytmnd.com/
