It was clearing slowly but once I racked it cleared up in a few days. It needed a jolt.

Guilty of double posting.. oops [/IMG]

Finally got around to post an updated picture of my VBM. This picture was taken about a week after racking which would be around day 65+/-. The color cleared up loosing what some of you compared to as Mountain Dew/Antifreeze :drunk:. It's now along the lines of cider. [/IMG]

Recently racked out of the primary onto 2 split, scraped and chopped Madagascar Vanilla Beans. It's coming along nicely and smells pretty vanilla(ly).... Picture taken at about the Day 10 mark. It has lightened up in color as well.

Yes, I would be from Southbury. Dare I ask? As far as I know I don't owe anybody money :D

That's a great price. I hope you keep this beekeeper happy with a bottle or two of mead now and then.

And there's the good friend I mentioned about..:mug:

Hey All, I came across this site a couple nights ago while putting together/finalizing a VBM recipe for me and a good friend to try. Well I just got done officially signing up and thought that I should get my first post out there. Additionally, I also started my first 1 gallon batch of VBM...
