Forgot to update sooner the mead is going very well actually, took a little taste before bottling and the coffee definitely stands out smell and flavor wise, the vanilla beans left a good strong flavor that i hope will mellow a bit with age. The cocoa nibs are kinda non existant due to the other...

Yeah haha I figured

Ok so I racked it over and added the coffee, vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. Here is a picture. I think I added a little more then other people have but what the heck I thought, might as well give it a try. I used 3 vanilla beans 2 Oz of cocoa nibs and about 1.5 ounces of medium roast course...

Gotcha thanks for the input I'll let you know how it goes I an adding the ingredients tomorrow

How would the dried lactose they use for beers work??

Gonna be adding the coffee, cocoa nibs and vanilla beans to this in a couple days just to keep it updated.

I'm definitely down for anything different. A group brew sounds awesome.

I will add pictures when I add ingredients to the secondary and also the amounts of ingredients I used in it, and the og

That does sound awesome!!

Hmm that doesn't sound as bad I know with the cold brew it isn't as acidic as a regular brew but crushing the beans and adding might be a good idea

Yeah I was thinking of the vanilla to maybe mellow it out a little

Awesome I'll see if I can find it

Yeah I think I'm going to cold brew some and add the vanilla beans and possibly cocoa nibs if you think it's a good Idea to help the flavor.

Hmm I'll keep that in mind. I cold brew every once in a while and have made some that aren't super bitter but still have a nice coffee flavor so I might stick with the medium roast bean I have at the house. I live coffee porters and stouts and like brewing mead so I started thinking about it

Hey so I started 2 batches of mead and am going to add the ingredients into the secondary fermentation and planned on possibly doing a coffee one. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before? I was thinking I would have to cold brew some then add it with the vanilla and cocoa. How much...

Here is the pic my friend sent. It's the top one

Found a meaderies close to my area, about an hour and a half away that makes an orange and lactose mead so pretty much a Creamsicle flavor. I haven't tried it yet cause I haven't been back there since it was released only a couple weeks ago. So it's definitely doable

I was looking online and see that some of the ancient style recipes use it but from what else I saw is that, like what you said was a clarifying agent.

Recently aquired some more honey to make some more batches and was thinking about picking up some Irish moss. Anyone have any tips for it or how you like to use it with the mead?

Banana mead! Og was 1.079. Boiled the bananas with brown sugar then mixed with the must. And used a Belgian lager yeast
