Late in the week after some reading on this forum, I decided to test the hand at making some mead. I decided to try and make my own recipe and make them two different ways.
The one of the left is made with strawberries, pears, cinnamon, vanilla bean and nutmeg. Boiled for about 30 minutes and then let sit over night to cool and mellow. Then bring up to temp and add 4 pounds of Orange Blossom honey.
The one on the right is made with apples, cinnamon, and vanilla bean. I used 3 pounds of Tupelo honey and then added it directly onto the apples and cinnamon.
I also really like the one gallon carboys. Those are pretty handy when you want to make small batches, and if they don't turn out too well then its only a gallon.
They are bubbling away too.. Can't wait..
Any comments/suggestions are appreciated..
