Looks a tad cloudy. Might be the picture though. You may end up with a good amount of sediment in the bottles in a few months.

Why so many re-racks in a one month period?

I was going by suggested SG on GotMead site. I racked it off the fruit (maybe to early). It also seemed to have a scent of model airplane glue that has since disappeared since racking.

Naga chili?? Color me intrigued. What type of chili did you use? I live in New Mexico and have often pondered green chili mead

This started as a 3 chilli mead but i remove 2 after a short while to.limit the heat, i used ghost viper chilli (naga) that my friend was growing in his kitchen

. My latest batch. Orange blossom honey vanilla in the secondary lightly Oaked with a touch of almond extract.

Sounds fantastic, how did it come out?

It came out fantastic. It's dry and has a beautiful finish. I was going for a strong vanilla presence, and the vanilla shines with out being too much.

Did you use a clearing agent? This is a thing of beauty!

No just time, it has been bulk aging for over a year. Thank you though.

Nothing special, but this is the JAOM I started in September and bottled today.

I believe that if it is Mead, it is special.

Today I have re-attempted the "wolf-moon" Mead(blackberry Melomel with spices).The first two photos are of the first attempt earlier this year. I'm not making those mistakes again. The second two are from today. Wish me luck.

I appreciate that! My first attempt, so I'm pretty happy with it. It's nothing compared to some of the wild concoctions on here!

Looks good! I also do my primary fermentation in a bucket for ease of use / clean up. Others on the site add fruit in a secondary carboy to give a fruitier flavor. It would be interesting to do a comparison using the same recipe to see what the difference really is.

Happy brewing!

Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry. Had to keep pushing that cap down





Turned out a very pretty color

That is nice!

The picture in the glass, on the kitchen floor doesn't really do it justice. It's crystal clear, still a bit hot but it's nothing a few months aging won't fix.
