I say well done, some people are put off homebrewing because they think it will cost a lot of money, as you've proved, you dont need to! As others have pointed out, airlocks are cheap, but if like me you'd need them posted them it works out more expensive, which is the same for other equipment...

15 gallons of honey :eek: maybe you mean lbs? :D I've got a mini brew of this on, just in a 2l plastic bottle. 1.5lb of honey, no tea (couldn't find it either), 5 fireballs in secondary, and I'm gonna put a cinnamon stick in it shortly. I imagine it will taste rank, but it's mainly for a...

I'm quite new to mead brewing, but have just racked a forest fruit melomel. there were cherries in there too, not sure what they'll do to the taste. I used about a pound and a half of frozen fruit in one gallon, it fermented in under 2 weeks and was almost clear at racking time a week later. I...
