I'm looking to do a mead to be ready for fall, and I'm thinking that a Vanilla Cyser with cinnamon would be great, only I haven't really been able to find a recipe for it. Anyone out there that knows one/is able to estimate how much of the ingredients I would need to do a 1 gallon batch of this...

1 gallon of JAOM... so 2 :D

Hey guys! First off, thanks for being such a helpful community where I can find answers to pretty much any question I've had so far. My question today is this: Do any of you have any favorite summer-ish Mead/Melomel recipes you'd recommend? I'm looking to start a 1 gallon this week to be ready...

How do I go about degassing a 1 gallon batch? I don't want to shake it and risk oxidizing. Should I rack to a bucket and buy a mix-stir?

I started a 1 gallon batch of strawberry Mead in June, it finished pretty dry from 1.080 to 0.990. (Yeast was 71B-1122) I racked to my secondary, no air bubbles, no problems. Then I racked off the lees about a month later, and had to top off with some water. Within a week I had tiny CO2 bubbles...

+1 Gal Tripleberry Melomel = 682.3

Hey guys. So I had my strawberry melomel sitting in my secondary for a while and it cleared up pretty well, but when I tasted it I wanted more strawberry flavor. So when I racked off the lees I added a fresh pound of strawberries. Only problem is now I have this ball of what I believe is pectin...

I just started my first mead on Monday and I still have my shopping list with everything I bought and I haven't needed anything else thus far. Carboy, Drilled Stopper, Air lock, Fermenting Bucket, Grommeted fermenting bucket lid, Auto Siphon, 6 feet of tubing, Mesh bag (for fruit if you're...

1 Gallon Strawberry melomel 169.5 + 1 = 170.5

Just took a SG reading, came out at 0.994. So it seems pretty much done at this point, which is a lot faster than I expected (5 days since pitching the yeast). Did a taste test, very minimal sweetness and thankfully did not taste like gym socks, woohoo. The strawberries haven't completely lost...

Thanks guys! That was exactly what I needed to know. I won't worry about the OG, and I'll use campden come racking time.

Hey all, thanks ahead of time for any feedback. I started my first mead yesterday, it's a pretty basic 1 gallon batch of strawberry melomel. I just have a few questions for you guys. First, the basic info: 3 pounds Clover Honey 2 pounds strawberries (frozen for one day with stems removed) 1...
