Just started what will be a five gallon batch of blackberry melomel (blackberry blossom honey, blackberry puree. Reserving some water and honey for step feeding).

856+5=861
 
Have a gallon amber mead going now, starting a metheglin next week when I get over this bug and a cyser as well, all are small batch single gallons
 
Edited
I just brewed 3 gallons of a strawberry mead, 3 gallons of a coffee mead, 2 gallons of tej and another 5 gallons of a garbage pail (pale - ha) ale and a gallon of cyser.

If I could do math lol-

878
 
First post.

1 Gallon of Mango courtesy of a recipe I found here pitched Good Friday!

884

-Pao
1 gallon of plain filtered tap water and Rowse honey mead, using Youngs Ale Yeast that I pitched just before midnight meaning it technically was made in November.

884 + 1 = 885
 
After my 1 month quick mead trial using CDB and Safbrew Abbaye comparing dry yeasts with 1388, racked all 3 one gallon batches into one carboy over strawberries.

+3 strawberry Mel
=888
 
897 is where we're sitting... looks like we might lose the momentum from the growth previously. Wish I'd joined sooner and could have contributed more but that leaves me next year! I have new carboys coming in (by tues) so should be a couple more gallons then!
 
Just started a JAOM, 1 gallon.

The cyser I was supposed to start this week (waiting on yeast) is actually going to be a 2 gallon so since it's in the tally (prev post) as a 1 gallon I"m going to add the 2nd gallon now so we're square! Had expected to be starting it already so apologies for the delay with flu bug, holidays, and stalking the UPS guy!

so 897 + 2 = 899
 
+6 gallons Orange Blossom
+6 gallons Cranberry Orange
+6 gallons Cranberry Raspberry Orange
+6 gallons Mixed GFS fruit melomel

( hopefully a few more buckets started before the end of the year )

903 + 24 = 927
 
927+

6 gal orange
5 gal blond summer
3 gal parumph valley raw honey


=941
 
Five gallons of tangelo, one gallon of apple/pear, and one gallon of blackberry/vanilla.
 
5 gallons of straight up plain mead.... 949 + 5 = 954 .....possibly my last this year, but.....not necessarily ;) Need to get a new spigot for my bottling bucket to free up a fermenting bucket, and all...
 
Just started a 5 gallon batch. I used the Winter Mead recipe, with apple and cranberry juice. Smells so good right now.


959
 
For this year I am at about 15 gallons of cinnamon clove mead and have a pineapple coconut starting to ferment so that will count next year when I bottle it or rack it to age and take a gallon to sip on...

We count at yeast pitch round these parts.

I'll add for you.

959 +15 =

974 Gallons.
 
Had one bee colony depart the hive late this year, they just left, so got some free honey and started a 5 gallons batch of Traditional Mead .

987+5 = 992
