Good evening folks. As I start to put more and more mead into bottles for future consumption, I realized that I needed to come up with a method to distinguish one batch from another. I bottle everything in clear 12 ounce or 750 ml crown cap bottles. As I reuse the bottles, I have been...

Good evening folks. I hope you all are on the front end of a great weekend. I am curious if any of you dose your mead with K Meta as you are working on your must (racking and or bottling) to minimize the impact of oxidation. I currently use K Meta in combination with K Sorbate for...

Good morning folks. As the title of the thread inquires, what is the gear that you have purchased to support your mead making hobby that was a game changer and worth the investment? I’m a “buy once cry once” kind of guy. I do not mind the cash outlay (within reason) for good gear that...

Good morning folks. I took the plunge and put together my first must in some time. I have been away from the hobby for a while and recently got the bug to get back into mead making (I was not a very good maze when I was previously making mead). I took my inspiration from the following thread...

Good afternoon. New board member with a request for some input. It has been a while since I have attempted a batch of mead. I have dusted off my equipment and mead making resources with the expectation of picking the hobby back up again. I keep bees as well as I make mead. In spite of myself...
