So as the weather is getting warmer and last years mead is running low I'm looking for a few good recipes with rose hips. maybe with cinnamon and/or fruits and something on the sweet side (not apposed to dry). If any of you might have recipes or suggestions that would be awesome.

1 gal. Six ghost cherry (super hot pepper experiment - Awesome taste, but has an acid re-flux feel after the fact) Fantastic for those worst enemies. 5 gal. oak cherry 2 gal. traditional (honey) 3 gal blueberry 0.5 gal mixed fruits w/ cinnamon 2 gal cherry w/spices 2 gal blood orange w/ spice...

1 year of brewing looking for fellow mead lovers. :cask:

Hello, New guy to the forum here. So I have a question about adding Honey. If I have already pasteurized my brew can I still add honey to sweeten to taste? If so is there any down side? To explain I've been making 1 gallon batches and recently acquired my fathers 5 gallon jugs and made a batch...
