Thanks for sharing, going to be my next batch!

Thank you! My Husband brewed a NEIPA, but I wanna do domething too. I have had a jalapeno mead..so it should work

On 8/21, our Son lost his 13 month battle with a rare and aggressive sarcoma. I want to make a Cider in his honor. His gaming name was Exploding Weasle, so I am thinking a habanero or jalapeno flavored cider. Any recipes? Experience? Thanks in advance!

No, not acidic...I just wasnt a fan. I did use puree in the primary. Next time, I will add fruit in secondary, maybe just not mango.😁

I just bottled my Mango Mead at 3 months. Personally, not my cup of tea! 9%abv, but..I will still count it as a success because my Mead-y friend were really enjoying it! Next time, I will try a different recipe!

I think it is good that it is still kinda tart, like a boysenberry. But I will do it differenly next time!

I am so excited! I made this one by myself. I was worried because I added the FJC in the beginning on the advice of our local brew supply guys. The results, a very dry and high alcohol cider...not what I wanted. So I backsweetened with a half pound of lactose, still not right. But I kegged it...

Thanks for the input! I have it marked on my calendar the month markers...I will taste at each!

Oh..so very true!!

Awesome advice..now...we wait! Thanks!

I just separated the yeast and must out and am getting ready to wait for the mead to be finished. The recipe said 1-3 months. Any advice as to the benefits of waiting the full 3 months? It smelled quite delicious!

Thank you!!
