Hey CidahMastah. Sorry I didn't get to this last night. Rough day at work and my wonderful boyfriend pointed out that a Chocolate Cherry Mead would help. I didn't get much done last night... I posted our Ginger Mead in the recipe forum. I will add the Cranberry when I get home tonight...

Check with your local home brew store. We were able to get 1/2 gallon jugs to get started with. We buy in bulk from Dutch Gold Honey now, but I believe they sell in smaller quantities as well. We've been searching for a local apiary that will sell to us in bulk, but it hasn't been cost...

OK Cidah... I just found the pic of all of your carboys. Fruit will not be an issue...

Hey CidahMastah. Well, my personal suggestion would be to start simple. Our basic show mead is a 50/50 on Orange Blossom and Clover honey. Mind you, we make 5 gallon batches of everything, so hopefully this will work for you: A Medium Sweet Show mead 5 Gallons 1/2 gal of clover honey...

Before we started making our own mead, my main experience with it was at an SCA event called the Pennsic Wars. Most people that brew for that event make very large batches of quick meads because 1. they share it with a ton of people and 2. those people are usually too drunk to know the...

Love it!!!

Be careful! My Mom gave my younger sister a sip of coffee figuring she would have the same reaction I did. (I still hate coffee) She had to pry the cup back out of my sister's hands! I remember Mickey's. Do they still make that?

DB and I had been using Super-Kleer in all of our meads then bottle aged. We accidentally bulk aged four cysers when our Meadery became a storage room for what was supposed to be a month. (which turned into 8) Once we got all of the junk out of there and tasted the cysers, we were amazed. We're...

Thanks Bloke. My DB and I have only been doing this for 2 years, so we're still in the experimental stages. He totally balked at my attempt at a chocolate cherry mead, but after it aged it turned out really good. So now he just looks at me funny and let's me run with my ideas. I hadn't...
