Not starting out the best. 😕 after 30 days during the first rack, I had my wife and neighbor taste it. They both said it was way too strong and bitter. I didn’t take another gravity reading, not until before I bottle according to the instructions. I don’t know where I messed up unless it’s...

Just started my new blueberry mead recipe from all your suggestions. Thanks! I’ll keep ya updated. Art

Mad, Hey, thanks! Good you tweaked it so I don’t have to. :) maybe I can get enough blueberries to compare a few batches! Art

That’s what I’ll do. thanks for the tip! Art

let me ask you a beginner‘s question, what kind of vanilla? Extract? Bean? Thanks!

Ok, that sounds cool. Let’s see how many blueberries my Brother in Law will let me snag. As many as I want if he wants any mead! Thanks, Art

This is just what I need. Thank you! Yes, I needed the whole instruction sheet because I’ve only made a few meads. Thanks for sharing, I’ll let you know! Art

Hey folks, I looked on the recipe tab for a blueberry mead recipe but I couldn’t find one for 1 gallon. My Brother-in-law has a blueberry field and I should have a little honey from my hives. Anyone willing to share an easy but tried and true blueberry mead recip? Thanks, Art

Jag, I got some. How much did you use? Thanks!

It still has little particles in it even after it went through the coffee filter but there were no particles in the filter. Think the campden tablet is still working? It’s been over 30 days and it’s still cloudy. I started the one gallon batch November 25, 2019. OR should I just rack next month...

Good tip..maybe next time. I should order it now since it may take until next time before it gets here Thanks Art

Never tried that and don’t have any. Maybe I’ll get some for next time.

how long should I give it to clear before I bottle? thanks Art

I’ve only used one recipe so not yet. Maybe after the next rack if it doesn’t clear already?

Hey folks, I made my peach mead, again like I do every year for the past three years. It’s the only wine/mead I have made. This time it’s me out cloudy. The first time no clouds. The second time cloudy and I back sweetened it with a little cane sugar and campden tablet and potassium Sorbate. And...

Well, everyone who tried my first batch said they liked it. Some said it was a bit “Hoppy” Not sure about that unless I use less hops but I wanted to stick with the recipe the first time. There were only 2 people who didn’t trust me to even try it but that’s progress isn’t it? *Grin!*

Yup, most of the mess has settled to the bottom. That peach was so mushy and floaty to start with but it looks much better now. Next rack I will put it in the fridge and I'm sure that will be the cure. Thanks!

Yup, that's what I'm doing from now on. Seems best!

Mongoose33, It is somewhat of a handicap! I'll have to depend on my wife (who's always around..humm...) she's no expert but she can tell the difference between a good or bad change. It's kinda like the guy who used to tune my piano. He didn't know how to PLAY the piano but he did a great job...

Myndflyte, Thanks. One thing I am learning there are a billion recipes our there with a ton of different instructions. I'm hoping I can find a good one and stick with it for a while
