I came across a recipe for Acerglyn. It Sounds good. Was wonder if anyone made it and if so how was it?

After hearing about freeze concentrating i tried it with a half gallon of mead I had. I put my mead in a gollon milk jug and put it in my deep freezer. I forgot about for a couple of weeks. I got about a pint. I'm not a big liquor drinker, but wow was it good. I will make more.

Thanks for the advise I be sure to post how it turned out.

It been in frige for 12 hours would poping the tops still help.

Should i split the batch and add more honey and cider. Take my five gallon batch an make it 6 gallon or more.

Also have one bottle in a plastic soda bottle and it very firm. Even stretch the bottle a little.

Thanks for the info.
