Well, the experiment has reached its conclusion! I just bottled the mead and it's freaking amazing. I ended up with 19 bombers (22oz) and 15 bottles (12oz).
The total time spent from yeast pitch to bottling was 107 days.
My thoughts on the process:
I have real bottle of dwarf invasion that i plan on doing a side-by-side comparison with soon. I'll post those results when it happens.
Now, for the pics of bottling day:

My thoughts on the process:
- Next time I'll probably only use the belgian strong yeast, skipping the lambic blend. Unless you plan on letting this age for 8-12 months and adding more food for the lacto, pedio, etc then i don't think it really does anything.
- The hops were extremely messy. Next time I'll probably use a hop sack when dry hopping
- I'll probably back sweeten with a little more honey next time. I only ended up at 1.014. I think a few points higher would be a little better.
