    Show us your Mead in a photo!!!

    Ummm, not sure what exactly is what.. there's some JAOM, a pumpkin and vanilla, one I made with some blue agave nectar (same sugar density as honey), Peach, and some others.

    Muscadine mead

    I really didn't have time to plan it out. FIL showed up with them already picked and said, make something. Water honey yeast. we'll see what it tastes like, already have ideas to experiment when I rack and break off some smaller batches.

    Pyment Prediciment

    Yeah I got some info from the jack Keller website too. Seemed simple enough explanation, and a good resource to get you started. I didn't test TA due to lack of testing equipment. Like I said never worked with grapes before and was surprised with the grapes being dropped off. Wish I would've ran...

    Muscadine mead

    I don't have muscadine grapes, I have mustang grapes. And the same thought occurred to me to throw in some honey instead of sugar for a pyment. I was concerned about acidity in flavor because these grapes are barely edible. Mine hasn't cooked out yet but with the dilution of the juice and the...

    Banana Nut Bread Mead?

    I would've strained out the bananas but I like the recipe. Good luck. if there's not enough vanilla after primary you could always rack it on the other half of the been for a week or so. did you decide on nuts yet?

    Pyment Prediciment

    I like to cook lol I'm a big fan of minimizing chemicals, just a preference, plus I feel like it give me more control. I like to be involved and make things take forever lol. I guess I was assimilating the acidity to PH problems when the TA mostly effects the taste? like I said never dealt...

    Banana Nut Bread Mead?

    I think they were slightly browning a little. If I recall correctly we were eating a lot of bananas, and then we weren't. So, we started freezing them before they went bad for smoothies and crap like that. It's definitely not something that you want to do if you intend to let the actual fruit...

    Banana Nut Bread Mead?

    Reviewed some specifics that I had jotted down when making up the batch. Apparently I was going for a Bananas Fosters feel. it was about 2.5 pounds of honey, 1 pound of maple syrup, and a few pounds of bananas sliced frozen and extracted in half a gallon of water on the stove. I went with the...

    Pyment Prediciment

    So, first thread. I've visited (lurked) this site over the last few years as I gather some quick information on a topic to decide between techniques and other things. I haven't started a new batch in some time though, and yesterday my FIL drops about 40 pounds of Mustang Grapes off. He wants...

    Banana Nut Bread Mead?

    I've actually done something very similar to this and it cam out pretty good. I'll have to go back and take a look for specifics. But off the top of my head, sliced bananas, froze, boiled in muslin to make an ugly gray extract, added to primary, cleared up great. Racked onto some practically...
