Not so ancient orange mead (1 gallon version):

The large carboy is my snowberry metheglin, it's got some cinnamon, vanilla, and galangal root in it. Smells great! The other two are straight snowberry meads, I plan on sparkling these two... maybe.

The one on the left is a mulberry mead and the other is a red plum mead. The fruit was added at secondary after fermentation was complete (gravities were at 0.996 / 0.998 respectively). I'm pretty excited about these since they're my first melomels and the fruit came off of trees in my yard and the neighbor's.

Awesome! What's snowberry?

Awesome! What's snowberry?

Snowberries are a poisonous white berry, but the honey collected from the flowers is absolutely delicious. The honey has strong flavor, which is predominantly what I'd call nutty, with some notes of butterscotch in the background; it's personally my favorite honey so far, and I've used it on bread and such quite a bit. I've yet to taste the mead though, but I'm really hoping those flavors come through in the end.

Racked my quad-berry melomel this afternoon for the 2nd time. Still needs a little clearing and aging for 6 more months.

3 gallon batch of 100% buckwheat honey Traditional Mead about 10 minutes after pitching the yeast.

Cyser time of year again.

1 week away. Came home to find The fruit is starting to drop in my JAOM. Recipe unaltered from original. I'm petty conservative in that regard. Like to follow the beaten and proven path in my brewing thus far. Going to leave it another month on the lees and invest in a mini auto syphon. Looking forward to making more meads. Need to get a few more 1 Gallon carboys. Any tops in bottling JAOM

Here is my black tea infused bush honey mead catching the sun, almost clear now after 2 rackings. 23L carboy, but due to rack-loss, it's down to about 5 gallons.

edit: This is made from my own honey

 

[Cliclaste]

made up a new recipe for my pumpkin spice mead, simplified, 1 pound chopped sugar pumpkin, 1 oz chopped raisins, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, 3 lbs of honey and 10 drops of doTerra On Guard essential oil blend (wild orange peel, clove bud, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus leaf and stem, rosemary leaf and stem oils.) and one pack of fleischmanns active dry yeast.

 

[TeufelHundenM198]

My. Good. Gracious.

In 5 gallons, this was 8 bags of Earl Grey Tea, 15lbs of local wildflower honey, 6 vanilla beans and 8 ounces of vanilla extract in the primary. It's absolutely amazing. With all that vanilla, you'd expect it to be almost "punch you in the face" strong, but it isn't. It's prominent, but not overdone. I'm very very happy with it. Only 10 months old, too.

Woah, looks dark. Buckwheat? Bochet? Or just the lighting?

 

[rowan57]

Lots of ground spices, and the lighting it is dark, but I think a lot of that colour will drop out with clearing.

Prickly pear mead

The color looks good. I did one a couple years ago, and the color slowly faded to a light gold.

 

[scurvymeat]

Thank you! First.prickly pear anything.

I bottled.after aging a year in carboy.
I am gathering more prickly pear. That batch had maybe 6 pounds or so. I want to get a good gallon to gallon and a half of prickly pear juice and try again. The color and.flavor is great.

 

[Goofynewfie]

A batch with only about 20% of the honey burnt like a bochet

Dessert wildflower mead. Sparkling

Rivermead Traditional
Rivermead Elderflower Mead
Rivermead Cyser

All pitched in September and all currently bulk ageing for the next 10 months. Also made 1Gal Cherry Melomel and 6 Gal Zombie Killer Clone. First year making mead and 10 Gal done.

Zombie Killer is amazing.
Elderflower was very very drinkable at 6 weeks.

All the rest are hot and require ageing. Elderflower was fermented at lower temperatures with staggered nutrient additions. The other meads were not and the difference is amazing. Now off to finish bottle pasteurising the Zombie Killer

[HawleyFarms]

Some bottles of our apple mead. Even though I used Apple juice, the recipe was mostly honey water so I'm not sure that it qualifies as a traditional cyser. Cleared very quickly and tastes nice but very hot still and needs time to mellow out. Finished around 15%

Update on my mulberry and red plum melomels; just racked them off the pulp/lees. Gonna have to back sweeten the plum one though, it's pretty tart! Both are dry meads, and the mulberry one is darn tasty and would go well with red meats.

Oaked Berry Melomel I made in January... Despite the brilliant clarity and nice rosé color, it is as terrible as ever. Guess I'll forget about it for a while or maybe give it to a bum.

I'll never use Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast again.

On another note, while doing laundry, I discovered a Bochet stash in the basement:

Very pleasant surprise. I did this last year sometime and it is delicious. Almost has a Coca-Cola nose and aftertaste. I was also surprised to find it is slightly carbonated.

I also found 1 bottle of the first mead I made (outside of an incident in high school). I guess I'll bring it to Thanksgiving.

Here's a blackberry current and a cyser View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1417021533.517787.jpg just racked to second carboy will take pictures and post. The cyser came out dry and The other came out like a dessert wine.

We bottled it in grolsch bottles and I'm pretty happy with it.
