Anyways, a nice cherry mead that finished just under 1.000 and to me just perfect. I feared it finishing too high and tasting like cherry cough syrup, but my fears were unfounded as this finished just right. This was just one gallon but I will make up a 5 gallon batch when temps cool down again.

That is great news! Mine should be ready for a harvest next year. Quick question, it gets pretty cold here, how do you insulate your hive for the winter?
