A BLOODY good time...

so I just started this new mead recipe....

WLP720
12 pounds clover honey
10 blood oranges (juice and rind only)
2 pounds black berries
1 cup earl gray tea
2 vanilla beans
1 1/4 tsp tannin
pectic enzyme
Yeast nutrient

I heated up the fruits and rinds and turned into a juice before adding the honey then topped off with good ol' spring water.
I plan on leaving this into the primary for 3 to 5 weeks depending upon how quick the yeasties chug along....

that looks like it will be an awsome mead , i want to taste that

Depending on where you live, perhaps a barter could be arranged

OP, what volume is that recipe aimed at? 5 gallons? Looks super tasty.

And is that 1 cup of liquid tea, or 1 cup of EG tea leaves?

+1 on the volume and tasty...
