"Red Headed Shield Maiden"? What exactly was it and how did it turn out?

House White2...this is the same batch as the House White, except this sat for a week on American Oak. It started as a 2 gallon batch, was split after primary fermentation.

Vanilla bean BOMM

This was in primary for two weeks: started on 26 / 03 / 2015 and racked to secondary on 02 / 04 / 2015. Blossom honey, Harrogate spring water, K1-1116 "Montpellier" white wine yeast, handful of raisins in primary and heaped teaspoon of Youngs yeast nutrient in secondary. Bubbling away nicely.

Simple show Mead (first attempt ever):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18213874/mead.jpg

Pitched 8th of march 2015

Racked into second today, not that much of a change visually, yet.
Lost about ~1L due to racking.



Seems to have gotten a tad darker ^^.

Got a little taste, too .. It got quite a kick (I didn't measure at start, but it's easy hitting the 12% mark would be my guess)

My wife made me some lables

Our first Braggot, done! It was made with extracts and we steeped hops pellets in the secondary. Very smooth, it's great cold!

We bottled our traditional wedding mead over the weekend. It still needs to clear a little but we are going to change yeasts for the summer, bc I think the heat is what is keeping our last few from clearing properly.

If it's been over 6 months and still hasn't cleared, try throwing half a dose of bentonite at it and waiting a few more weeks. It should drop fully clear with a little help.

Its only 2 months and the other ones that are just a little older, we bottled a few days before this and they cleared up in a couple of days after bottling. I'm not too worried. We've got 4 more months to go before the wedding. They should be fine, but if not we will def try the bentonite.

My Raspberry 37 days old just racked and 98 days old JOAM (Still clearing).

I've been wanting to try a raspberry. That JAOM looks awesome, great color.

Would you be interested in sharing the recipe?

Second racking of the Baltic honey mead. Drank the sample batch. Hopefully age will improve it, even though I used a young wine yeast.

Just racked another mead off its lees.

Raw wildflower honey, using Vigo Cider Yeast.

Raspberry Cinnamon.

Painted this label on and thought I'd post this. It's a basic mead recipe I made a little over 2 years ago. I can't remember the recipe exactly because I blended 2 batches.
