I made some batches of ancient orange about 2 years ago and forgot about them. I recently found them, still with the oranges in the fermenter and am not sure if I should bottle and drink the mead. Any suggestions?
Repeat after me: Nothing. Dangerous. Can. Grow. In. Mead. (or beer, or wine...) Bottom line is it won't make you sick...It may or may not taste good, but it will not hurt you, so you have nothing to loose giving it a try! Please report back....(with pics and tasting notes if possible!)
Atek said:That means we want pictures too!
Cool...looking forward to that. Give it a taste and let us know.
If it's a worse case scenario, I've heard of folks cooking with it, Baked Ham, Glazed Carotts, etc...I'm not 100% sure but you might even be able to use it for making a strange batch of Skeeter Pee but maybe others can confirm or give a reason why it wouldn't work.
I've heard that some people actually enjoy the flavor of autolysis, but I can't say I find it appealing in the slightest.
thanks for the help, i'll bottle in next few weeks and try to post pictures.

What things?
Dangerous things can grow in mead. But if they do the mead will taste like it has dangerous things in it.
Turns out he must have tried it and it did have something growing in it and he hasnt been heard from since. Remember that guy who made the pokeweed mead, never heard from him again either. WVMJ
Or the fella who dared make Durian Cider. He had a hellova beard, but it wasn't enough to save him I guess...
