How many gallons of mead? 2017

[Drewed]

5.5 gallon of a BOMM, and 1.5 of a peach thing.
265.5 + 7 = 272.5

 

[valverij]

3 gallons of Mesquite Traditional

272.5 + 3 = 275.5

 

[CanadianJesus]

[2 gallons BOMM to be made into Methaglyns.

275.5+2 = 277.5

277.5

 

[Drewed]

A gallon and a half of a cherry mead
277.5 + 1.5 = 279

 

[smishylyn]

5 gallons Traditional Med Sweet
5 gallons JAOM
3 gallons Apple Pie Cyser

 

[growlrr]

279 + 13 = 292 (just adding the math)

 

[thm57]

292 + 6 apple cyzer = 298

 

[Dendion]

298

Finished bottling my first 2 gallons and put two more immediately in the carboy. Even green this stuff is great.

Math for last post. 323 + 4 = 327

We made a 5 gallon batch for Christmas two years ago.

1 gallon fall honey
5 gallon apple juice or cider
1 cup mulling spices
1/2 vanilla bean
D47 yeast

Add 4 and 1/2 gallons apple juice/cider to mix, and reserve one half to top off in carbon. Use juice for more light apple flavor and cider for more spiced flavor

This yeast is monstrous :O

I am trying to back sweeten my 1 gallon batches and I have been adding honey 4OZ (10 points) at a time trying to hit a final gravity of 1.010. It fermented my first three additions of that dry to 1.000. I just added a fourth round of honey and it started bubbling even more! My gravity reading today before adding honey was 1.001, 4 days since my last addition, so I hope the yeast has reached it's alcohol tolerance, because I've already added an extra pound of honey to each 1 gallon jug! I believe the abv is just above 17% right now, it will go higher if this keeps fermenting at this rate.

I remember Bray said he achieved 19%abv with this yeast by adding 1oz at a time, so I figured I would add 4 at a time and it wouldn't reach that high, but it looks like it just might.

For my big 5 or 6 gallon batch I have planned I am going to scale up and double the amount of honey added for each round. So for 5 gallons I think I will add 2 pounds at a time until the yeast poop out.

I'm going to need to go out and buy a lot of honey in the next week or so

LoL to the white girl reference. "OMG this Mead is about me!"

 

[ike8228]

Are these your running totals from forever or just this year? If just this year how do find the time, space, and have the ability to consume so much?

I'm at about 22 this year and thought that was a lot.

1 gallon BOMM. Half now aging on blueberries, half bottled.

The total is the running total for all of us posting this year.
