I have since found a recipe but have a question. I have a book that lists several recipes from everything to sugar wine to moonshine. One recipe is corn wine. 2.5 lbs of sweet corn kernel 1-3/4 lbs sugar 1 gallon water 1 pkt wine yeast It calls for me to get the fermentation roaring and then...

I have some sweet corn kernels in the freezer that i probably won't ever eat so I was thinking about trying it out.

I thought it would be cool to see others labels. I don't actually have one yet but I figured it would go a little something like this.

Are there any mead recipes where I can use sweet corn? Does anyone have any good ones if you have tried it?

I don't have anymore bottles! And yes those are captain Morgan bottles.

Honestly, I don't have a clue. It my 3rd attempt at mead making. My 1st was just terrible, had a nasty band-aid taste. I kind of followed a recipe I found. They had me get water boiling and steep 5lbs of frozen blueberries for 30 minutes. I didn't use frozen. Once I got all the ingredients...

It's a blueberry mead. In the bottles it doesn't look as clear as in the glass. It came out at 12.3% abv

Started this on August 29th. 1.154 OG 17 lbs honey -10 wild flower -7 clover 5 oranges (sliced in 1/8) 1lb raisins 4 cinnamon sticks 3 cloves 1/2 t energizer 5 t nutrient 5 t yeast

It almost seems like its in the same spot as the flash reflecting in the 1st pic. Hmmm?

(Sorry to post jack) This is a bottle of blueberry mead that I made a couple of months ago. It has been racked a couple of times. This was the last bit that was stirring up the yeast at the bottom so I bottled it to try to salvage it. I put it in the fridge just in case. This is about as clear...

Jaom.

I had to take a sip. It is definitely sweet! I added some honey back when I added the spices. If you have ever made warm apple pie, it is very similar.

I made a 5 gallon batch with 5 oranges. I think the true would have been cheaper.

I Asked this awhile back in the JAOM thread but without a response. When I drink my jack I like a slice or 2 or orange in it. About a year ago I discovered these packets call "true" orange. They make lemon as well as like. I'm wondering if I could substitute the packets for actual oranges? I...

I didn't see this until now. Too funny! I did taste just now. It tasted pretty good. Slightly syrupy in consistency but good. Nice little alcohol burn.

Thank you. I am relieved.

As of today all oranges have fallen to the bottom. There are only a few raisins left floating. Normal? Not normal? Ideas?

It just occurred to me that I didn't have an airlock when I first started making this batch. I used a latex glove with pin holes poked in it......

I started my batch on 7/28. I only have 2 orange slices left floating, the other sank already. It appears to be clearing as well. Is this normal for it to be happening this quickly?

That was supposed to read "gut" not guy. I was smelling one of my other meads last night and the rubber bung smelled exactly like what my tasted like. Is it a possibility that it is causing it?
