Wait, how old is she? You do know that there is a law somewhere that once a person turns 70 they no longer have to "watch what they say". At least that is what my DB keeps telling me when his mom goes off.

FWIW, melomels can be quite good dry. My Strawberry had a final gravity of .997 and it was my 2nd favorite. Good luck! :mug:

Eh, stay outta jail, I think she'll appreciate you more (as will her folks). I really liked the first link you posted in both black or wine. Granted, you are officially being given the opinion of a woman who: 1. won't spend more than $20 on a purse but just forked out $60 for 12 cases of empty...

Hey James, have you tried the butterscotch candies before? I haven't experimented with candies at all, but that sounds good!

We actually tried carmelizing the sugar for an apple pie mead that I make, but it just tasted like burnt marshmallows so we didn't add it to the batch. My boyfriend makes a cyser from The Complete Meadmaker called Fall's Bounty which uses brown sugar in the primary. I can't say I've ever...

Thanks guys. This does seem like a really great place. No worries Creamy... that was practically a fawning welcome from Chap... Cowboys and Steelers rarely mix. ;) May the Mead heal all wounds! :mug:

Hi all! I have been lurking HBT for some time now and figured it was about time to jump in. I've been making mead with my boyfriend for just over 2 years now. We've just hit 25 meads including both 5 gallon tried and trues and 1 gallon crazy experiments. :tank: I really love all of the...

Hi Stephm, I have to agree with Medsen. If you can get ahold of a 10 gal fermentor, it will help immensely. Melomels are my preference, and everyone we have made has popped its top. (we use 6.5 gallon glass carboys for our melomel secondaries) After almost getting shot by an airlock one...
