Finally!

I started my traditional Honey Mead on 2-26-12. I bottled it today after I sorbated it and sweetened it last month. It is absolutely phenomenal. I might just switch to brewing meads now. It finished at 16.36% ABV.

I forgot to add my picture. Here it is.

Pretty, did you spice with anything? How long bulk age and bottle age?

 

[smccarter]

Wow... what patience.

 

[tellish33]

Nope. I combined Orange Honey and Wildflower Honey to make 9 pounds. And used 3 or 4 pounds brown sugar. Kept it pretty traditional. It turned out way better than I thought. I'm going to venture into other meads now.

Bulk age was almost 19 months. I was going to do a year in bottle but I dont know if it'll last that long. I'm going to try and keep at least one or two bottles to see what it's like in a year. That would be almost 21 months total time.

19+12=31
A little over 3.5 years
