You Go Girl:ban: I dont know how many you can manage but if your man loves mead he should be happy happy:drunk: You might as well face it your addicted to brewing:rockin:

Cellphane, we can only second Lorenae's advice on "Joe's Ancient Orange Mead". We are new to homebrewing ourselves and followed the recipe to the letter. We now have a very good mead in the bottle that we really enjoy and plan to share a couple of bottles this weekend with our son and his girl...

That is the same place I got the recipe and it is very much worth doing. We ended up drinking two bottles and enjoyed them both. We plan to wait until Nov. to open the next bottle if we can stand to wait that long.:ban: Take your time and enjoy a bottle after only a few months.:mug:

WE are impressed with the flavor of our Joes Ancient Orange. The wife (Red) says it has just enough sweet to be delicious and just the right amount of Orange to bring out the tartness to off-set the sweetness. Very clean on the palate, no real lingering after taste. The sourness we first tasted...

I was thinking more along the lines of doing the Barshack recipe with the Vanilla addded in during the boil or in the ferm. Just a thought still plan to brew the straight Barshack recipe. :mug: :drunk:

Thanks Dansmith13 You guys have been very helpful and I really appreciate that you take the time to explain things to someone you dont even know. I am sure I will have more questions in the future and I will continue to read the forum and at some point hopefully be able to contribute something...

I am planning a three gallon recipe on my first mead will the 5 gallon carboy be OK?? I have read that very little air space in the fermentor is recomended. Thanks Vernie

Thanks Homebrewer 99, My wife and I made the trip to Houston yesterday and bought one of those all in one kits for beer-wine making. We ended up with all the stuff for brewing beer as she really likes Corona and the stuff for our first mead, the beer should be in the fermenter tonight and as...
