Made the version of this using the linked recipe below - bottled after a month of fermentation - it's got a bit of alcohol burn but wow, love the rich orange and spice flavor! Bottled in 6oz bottles which look really cool...
Oh and the version above is a BOMM (one month mead)..
Give it 6 mo.
Give it 6 mo.
I really didn't care for this mead. It was to dry for me. So I changed it a bit. I add 5lbs of honey instead of the 3. I also am doing a blackberry the same way.
5 pounds ..... in one gallon?
It sounds like a lot, but it dissolves into the water fairly quickly. There are recipes out there that call for 19-20 lbs. of honey for a 5 gallon recipe.
My JAOM has been in the bottle for 6 months. I just opened one and I was not impressed. Still too much of the orange peal taste. Is that just the way this batch will be, or should I wait another 6 months before opening another?
