Hello,
So I started brewing meads mid to late 2009 and it was before I really knew what the heck I was doing. I did not take original gravity readings and to be honest it was more of a fingers crossed this works type of deal. I now have a hydro and do things properly but deep inside I want to know the ABV of my meads/cysers/metheglins you name it that I started way back in the day. I started them all between July 2010-September 2010 and just bottled in May 2012
Vanilla Metheglin Recipe
2lbs clover honey
1gal Water
2 Vanilla Beans (primaried so not much vanilla taste)
EC-1118 Yeast
Buckwheat Mead
2lbs Buckwheat Honey
1gal Water
EC-1118
Apple Cyser
1lb Clover Honey
Meijer Brand Cider
EC-1118
Wildflower Mead (this is when I started going to a homebrew Shop)
3lbs Wildflower unfiltered honey
1gal water
Wyeast Sweet Mead Yeast
Blackberry Braggot (or so I thought)
1lb Blackberries
2lb Wildflower Honey
1oz Cascade Hops
1gal Water
D-47
The Vanilla tastes like alcohol, Cyser is way to sweet like apple juice, the wildflower is amazing, I have not tried the buckwheat yet and I am afraid of the braggot haha its this disgusting brown puke color from the blackberries and hops but I am no hop head and 1oz in 1 gallon is allot to me.
All my meads where brewed cold including the braggot if I remember right
Thank You for your help or any input you have on my stuff. I have since upgraded massively but everyone has to start somewhere
