+6 gallons: 3 gallons of "Mojito Mead (lime and mint)" and 3 experimental 1 gallon batches that will be using habanero peppers and cacao nibs in varying amounts.

431 total
 
+3 gallons Acerglyn. First attempt at it, but got advice from someone I know who has done it in the past.

=437
 
yep - beekeeper52 seems to have taken the total from the bottom of the previous page.

CKuhns 436
+ beekeeper's 9 = 445
+ zepth's 3 = 448
 
10 gallons this year, total
-5 gal is a classic Mead with 2013 honey from a local apiary.
-5 gal is another classic Mead from a 2015 honey, same apiary. I've read that the fresher the honey the better. So I can't wait to get some fresh 2016 honey and see

+6 Gallons (Traditional)
= 485 gallons

This is my first attempt to brew anything, AND my first post on this forum. Excited!
 
+5 gallons of Cyser
+5 gallons Melomel
+5 gallons Metheglin
= 500.5 gallons
 
5 gallons Strawberry Melomel
5 gallons Dandelion Mead
5 gallons Peach Mango Melomel
3 gallons Traditional Clover
1 gallon Whiskey "Barrel" Aged Clover (Custom toasted dark oak chips used to age a white Poitin)
6.5 gallons Bochet Cyser Solera #2
5 gallons Hopped Mead (DIPA inspired)
1 gallon Smoked Bochet Braggot
5.5 gallons Genesee Valley Apple Saison (Fonta Flora inspired Cyser-Braggot with saison and wild yeast)
1 gallon Saison Reserve (3711 Hydromel)

I think that may be it ...

+37gallons = 544.5
 
Looks like I never added my Very Berry Melomel to 2015's thread, pitched in '15, bottled in '16, so I'll add that now too

+5.5 = 550
 
I made my very first mead on January 1, a simple recipe found on StormtheCastle.com. Beginning on June 14 and then every Sunday thereafter, I began making one gallon of mead. Yesterday I made my first melomel, a raspberry flavored affair. So altogether,I've made 7 gallons.

Since my last update, I've made 1 gallon of a traditional sweet mead, a 2-gallon batch of must that I plan to divide separately into 1 gallon melomel batches (not sure what flavors yet), and a 5-gallon batch of chocolate mead. So that's 8 more gallons for me -- 14 gallons total thus far, though I'm still trying to decide what I'll be making today and whether it will be 1 gallon, 2 gallons, or 5 gallons...so many indecisions to make! 685
