Hey, y'all. This current batch (started back in February) is turning out pretty tasty and potent. I used Storm The Castle's recipe, with three pounds of honey, and at one point, it was going bready, but I left it alone for a few more weeks, and now it's starting to taste really good. It's not clarifying very fast despite being racked (I think I left too much of the lees in it during racking), but otherwise, it's turning really tasty. I've bottled one bottle (I'm the only mead drinker in the house) that I've added additional honey to (about half a pound), and I'm leaving that bottle the hell alone for the next several months. My mead has been in a relatively cool basement (averages 65°F/18°C) in a room that is rarely lit up. This is my second attempt at it (My first attempt in 2014 ended up having to be abandoned because I was evicted from the place I was living at the time, and I'd started the batch earlier that year, so I wasn't able to taste it), and so far, it's turning out nice.
