    Apple Cinnamon Cyser Just bottled - yup I used a whiskey bottle to bottle... Don't hold it against me... I will remove the labels when I care more about label removal than I do about the AWESOMENESS that's contained inside... Meaning my wife might remove the labels at some point...

    Is this infected??

    Just getting beautiful banana smell, I boiled chopped bananas in a mesh bag for 30mins. Removed the bag and squeezed to get any extra liquid. Added a bit of brown sugar and honey. Cooled - Tossed into jar. Pitched yeast and put on airlock. This is 3 days later.

    Retaining Fruit Colour in your Mead?

    Ahhh I see! Thank you! K time to start another batch. Does it make a difference if you rack onto fresh or frozen fruit or even perhaps juice? Also doesn't this mess up your gravity readings? Thoughts? Thanks again!

    Retaining Fruit Colour in your Mead?

    I made a blueberry melomel and in the initial stages the colour was amazing! But as it cleared it ended having none of the purple it had at the begging. I've posted the initial pics. After racking it ended up coming our a regular yellow orange colour. I was hoping for a soft purple. Here's...
