Today (and over the last 4 days), I processed 12 pomegranates (approx. 8 lbs of arils) & 8 bags (approx. 5 1/2 lbs) of cranberries & froze them for upcoming batches.

I use juice all the time. You can make it with just juice or a blend of juice & water. Start by take a gravity reading of your juice. It should be around 1.035-1.050. Most honey will contribute about .035 points/lb/gallon of liquid. If you use all juice (No water), you'll need about 1.5...

Label as either Yeast samples or vinegar. Never ship USPS.... only ship FedEx or UPS.

Looks great. Do yourself the favor of waiting 6 months, then try it. Something purely magical happens around the 6 month mark that just changes everything. Pro tip...start another one today😋🤣 Happy meading 😎

Tough to say just one, as they all bring their own uniqueness to the tables. I've heard great things about Sourwood Blossom, but I haven't had time to make it since buying the honey. Some of my favorites are Orange blossom, Tupelo blossom, Lehua blossom, Ulei blossom, Macadamia blossom &...

Considering this was his only post & he hasn't been back since, I have my own doubts about how good it must've come out. Seemed like too much sugars & too much cinnamon for a one gallon batch. Here's a link to a pumpkin cyser that came out rather nice Thread 'Pumpkin Cyser' Pumpkin Cyser

They have white oak....& many others

@Raptor99, thank you so much. Not only for responding, but for these very informative links to some great information. It is much appreciated 🙏 Now, armed with this new information, I will feel a lot better about proceeding with using my elderberry additions into several already made & new...

Wow, I'll say!😆

Great to know....thank you.

I wish I knew😕

@Raptor99 . I think I saw a post you were talking on winemakingtalk.com about elderberries...specifically the green goo. Do you have any idea if the dried elderberries produce such a goo? I have 4 lbs of dried elderberries I want to start experimenting with, but I'm hesitant because of the...

Thanks for this link.

@MightyMosin Did you do an update on this yet or did I just miss it? Life has been pretty hectic lately & I know I've missed a bunch of posts on this forum. Looking forward to how this comes out. Thank you, in advance, if you do reply. Happy meading 😎

Mead is magical. As @bushpilot mentioned, most meads turn out fine with some aging. It seems, (in my experience) most meads that were so-so when I made them turned out to be quite nice after a year of bulk aging.

For my own personal taste, I like the cran-raspberry & the cran-apple the best. https://www.oceanspray.com/Products/Juices/By-Type/Classic-Juice-Drinks/Cran-Apple-Cranberry-Apple-Juice-Drink...

I have not tried those 2 together. Ocean Spray juices mix a ton of flavors with cranberry. I have tried several. Looking on their site, they have a cran-blueberry-raspberry, but I have never tried it. https://www.oceanspray.com/Products/Product-Filter?category=Juices

I got to feeling a little crowded with my piles of honey adding up here & there...sooo, I added a honey shelf to my mead room, aka the basement. I still haven't consolidated all of my honey to the shelf yet, but it's getting pretty crowded already. Man, I gotta make more mead! I finally managed...

Fact!

Awesome! Thank you! @shetc
