    Watered down mead

    So I've realized recently that my meads that I have been making taste a little watery. Like it were watered down. I make my meads with 14lbs of honey and top them off to 5 gallons. It seems like they should have a stronger flavour. Am I doing something wrong?

    How do you top off the head space without diluting your Mead?

    Coffee Mead?

    Anyone try making coffee Mead? Just came to mind. If anyone has made this let me know how it turned out. I was just thinking of adding coffee beans like you would fruit.

    Fruit flies

    So I'm having a little trouble with fruit flies. I've noticed an increase in their numbers since I started brewing and even more after using ice baths to control temperature. So my question is what is the best way to control them? More specifically. How?

    smoked mead

    Well my plan is to make a Mead or braggot with peat malt. So I'm not sure how many oz I will need for a medium smoked peat flavour.

    So I bought some ingredients from my local HBS and there is this small white power in a bad labeled "Amy" who knows what this is? I can't figure it out. First time not making Mead.

    smoked mead

    I'm not a huge fan of blending spirits into my meads. But as for adding that smoked peat flavour how much would need to be added to achieve a strong smoked peat flavour like in the scotch? I have no reference to know what is a lot of smoked peat malt vs a low quantity.

    smoked mead

    OK Mc'Clelland's is way to smokey and peaty. I do like the smokiness and peaty flavours but just not in those quantities.

    smoked mead

    Laphroiag scotch cost about $50 a bottle so I went with Mc'Clellands Islay which was $20. So I'll taste that to see what it's like.

    smoked mead

    So a good friend of mine really likes scotch and the smokiness of it. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a good recipe for a good smoked mead. I'm looking for something that doesn't require me to add liquid smoke. I'm looking for more of a smoked peaty thing.

    Making a Chocolate Mead Recipe: How Much Honey and Which Yeast?

    I tried making it once and added it to the primary and it turned out the cocoa powder I was using was littered with preservatives.
