That's all in 2022? Keeping the beekeeper in beesiness.
 
That's all in 2022.
It all falls under my want to be better at making mead and having mead around to age and see what happens. If I don't make more than I drink, I won't have any around to age.

Items like the Session's and the Christmas are expected to be mostly for immediate consumption; well the Christmas one will get close to a year of aging before being given away. My Cysers are close to immediate consumption as well and I do love those.

I tend to purchase the 5 gallon buckets, but the latest price hikes have me in sticker shock.

Previous total was 341.3, not 349😉
341.3 + 87 = 428.3
 
428.3 + 1.5 hydromel = 429.8

It is a split batch to compare yeasts, I will post results eventually. One of the strains has been a lot slower going.


Feeling kinda dumb, because I already added this batch earlier, forgot, then re-added it...

Total = 428.3

@MightyMosin, I was looking over your list of flavors you've created this year & I was wondering, would you be willing to share your recipe & process for the pineapple mead with Mesquite honey, please?
I have a pineapple bochet that's almost done primary now, & would be interested in doing a batch with the mesquite honey I bought last year & haven't found one to use it with yet. It would be good to compare the two, even though they'd be separated by 2-3 months in aging to tell any real differences.
Thank you, in advance, if you do reply and/or share.
Happy meading :cool:
