Thanks for the replies again, I will use this as a running Diary to track my progress. Molasses can very easily overpower other flavours as my friend learned by adding something like 1/2 cup to a 1 gallon recipe. Suffice it to say....it didn't go over to well.
Whole Spices is my goal and...
ello ello! I too am fairly new to mead making but have been reading everything I can get my hands on. It helps when my brother decides to do something he goes all the way. He has been a tremendous help with how much he has learned.
As for the "Show Mead" there is nothing wrong with that...
That's a great question, and one I should have addressed. My 1st batch is only 1 gallon. For some reason I feel hesitant to do more than 1 gallon unless it is a show mead that I will split into 1 gallons to try as many different types that I can. Once I find one I really enjoy....I will remake...
Well having started making my own mead with a few other people 3 weeks ago....started with the Cinnamon and Orange "classic" recipe and I start a new batch or mead/cider every week....I have an ambitious goal. A Winter Warmer Mead.
My favorite beer has always been a solid Winter Warmer...
