I'm contemplating a banana bread mead. Probably a 1 gallon batch to start off with. I have a few questions. 1. I've heard that the brown sugar taste doesn't transfer after fermentation. What would work? Back sweeten with it instead of primary? 2. What yeast? I've only ever used lavlin d-47 or...

On a whim yesterday, I decided to give this a shot. I didn't really have anything to off of so I went with. 1 gallon batch 2.5# clover honey 1 mango sliced (as well as I could) 1 lemon 1 habanero sliced into 4 1 packet of d-47 Then I topped it off with water In the secondary I plan to add more...

There are times when certain words are used to describe meads. I don't exactly know what they mean and I'd guess there are fellow mead noobs such as my self who wonder what they mean. I suppose I could google it but I thought why not get a list going here? I've heard hot and mouthfeel...

Ok, after several attempts at copying this and pasting it from my phone, I've given up! Here is the link for the recipe. http://www.blue-n-gold.com/halfdan/meadrecp.htm What the heck is a spotted newt tail?! Is it a joke? Lol?

I thought it would be cool to see others labels. I don't actually have one yet but I figured it would go a little something like this.

Are there any mead recipes where I can use sweet corn? Does anyone have any good ones if you have tried it?

I Asked this awhile back in the JAOM thread but without a response. When I drink my jack I like a slice or 2 or orange in it. About a year ago I discovered these packets call "true" orange. They make lemon as well as like. I'm wondering if I could substitute the packets for actual oranges? I...

I have been contemplating a cherry mead recently. I was walking around one of my local grocery stores this evening and saw that they had 100% cherry concentrate. It comes in a quart container and the label said it had over 1,000 cherries in each quart. Any suggestions for a recipe using this...

I made my 1st mead on 7/7. Racked it on the 7/22 and it cleared really nicely. It was a simple mead. 2.5lbs honey Water Yeast D-47 (packet) I added a tbs of vanilla extract and about 25 raisins to the original fermenter. I was still new to the process and didn't take an OG reading. I did take...

I am wondering what classification rumbullion would fall under? I started a brown sugar/honey mix to try something new. I've heard molasses and water makes rumbullion and then is distilled into rum. I was wondering of brown sugar & honey would be considered a mead?

I re-racked this on Saturday and I already have later at the bottom. It is clearish towards the top, about an inch down. Did I transfer some sediment from my primary fermenter or is this normal?
