JAOM ten days shy of one year in bottle

Updated... 1.20 at about 90 degrees, room temp water was 1.000 ?? Desert wine if I'm reading it right

Alright! 16 lbs honey and a forearm covered in splatter burns later, I got must cooling, wyeast 4632 smack pack expanding, and debating on pour aerating or going to Walmart and getting an aquarium aerator and a sixer of blue moon Belgian white and being lazy. I'll update with an og when it...

I was until I got tired of the bees dive bombing me, currently 1.25 hours in the cook, but been on stove for 45 min or so now lol. And having to cook honey in batches, only got a 3 gallon boiler and it ain't big enough

ten minutes into my honey burning and I got honeybees all over

JAOM. Still young hot and potent, but very consumable, my first homemade mead!!

Lol hawley, I just got home from offshore, went to bottle my jaom, did first jug fine, second I forgot to unclamp the tube..... It popped off the siphon. Think 43 y/o sedentary male wet shirt contest..... Not pretty lol that said it tastes great although hot, burns so good in the throat, but I...

Is it too late to join this group? This looks to have the potential of being a Legacy type thing, And this would be a perfect project for me since I work offshore. I'm new to Mead, my first 2 gallons is now one due to not knowing WTH I was doing(I don't follow directions well), but its almost 6...

3 gallons jaom, 1 gallon peach something 739

Ok, so honey, water, yeast, nutrient and energizer into primary, then racked onto coffee and cinnamon for secondary? Granted im new to this, about how much nutrient and energizer went in?

Hello all, So I'm new, I made a batch of what's basically the JAOM although it came from another recipe under a different name, same exact ingredients and process. Question 1, it's been through entire process, and clear as a bell, smooth taste when room temp, but soon as it gets cold I feel like...
