Pomegranate Melomel?

[Yeroc]

Subscribing to see how your bottled pom mead ages over time RichBrewer. Looks fantastic. Beautiful color. I have a pomegranate tree in the backyard, and this year I've got pounds of seeds in my freezer just waiting to be used in a mead, a sour beer or something else.

Question. Did you use metabisulfite or potassium sorbate when racking or bottling?

 

[RichBrewer]

No. I didn't use anything. I haven't tried it in quite awhile. I actually made a top off batch and in it I used more pom juice. It actually turned out better than the original. I'll open a bottle today and see how it is doing.

I tried a bottle of this and it is really quite good after ten months. The addition of the pom juice after fermentation was complete, definitely helped to give it a better pom taste but there isn't any honey notes at all.
I find it slightly sweet, with a nice taste and no alcohol burn. On a scale of one to 10, I give it a 7.
It will be interesting to see how it changes over time.

Good luck with yours. Let us know.
