1 gallon split into two 1/2 gallons of Dandelion (different honeys, different yeasts)

361.25 + 1 = 362.25

[Ren06]

381.75 + 6 gallons of traditional bochet mead = 387.75

 

[jdauria]

387.75 + 5 gallons of Pink Guava Melomel = 392.75

 

[Wrendelar]

392.75 + 3 gallons of Blackberry Malomel = 395.75 gallons

 

[Dan O]

2 gallons of Strawberry/Raspberry/Rose Hip/ Vanilla

395.75 + 2 = 397.75

 

[honeybrewmead]

3 gallons traditional -first batch of mead I've made 9%alc
3 gallons traditional-second batch a bit sweeter then the first 11%alc
6 gallons plum mead 7.5%alc dry
6 gallons traditional OG of 1.140~ current gravity 1.024 hoping it goes down because its too sweet right now. Still slowly fermenting.

[DBhomebrew]

I'm using my normal traditional recipe, but replacing 32oz/G water with a bottle of Lakewood not from concentrate, no preservatives juice. It's the dry yeast of fruit additions. They say a bottle is equivalent to the juice of 3# of fruit.

Awesome! Thank you! @shetc

Using cold steeped Marshmallow root, Hot steeped Cacao Nibs. I'm using Clover for the larger share of the sugars with Meadowfoam and Buckwheat bringing in the rest of the honey. It is amazing how much Meadowfoam smells like Marshmallow.

A portion of the Clover, Meadowfoam and all of the Buckwheat got caramelized to about 240F. I'll update on how this experiment turns out.

@MightyMosin
Did you do an update on this yet or did I just miss it? Life has been pretty hectic lately & I know I've missed a bunch of posts on this forum. Looking forward to how this comes out.
Thank you, in advance, if you do reply.
