My first gallon of JAOM, pretty yummy!

My own eyeballed recipe for some cinnamon mead. Put a few cloves , 3 cinnamon sticks, some ground cinnamon and a few splashes of pure vanilla extract. Clocked at OG 1.73.

1.73? Wow, if that ferments dry you're looking at about 96% ABV!

I need to make some JAOM. Been meaning to for a while, just haven't yet.

Haha! Obviously I don't know how to read a hydrometer ):



Edit: Took a closer look at the hydrometer, must be at a 1.073 not 1.73

Metheglin using 1oz of Polaris hops

 

[loveofrose]

Texas Wildflower BOMM. Deliciousness in a glass.


Better brewing through science!

 

[EOD619]

Traditional orange blossom from a local apiary in San Diego. Delicious, very light and floral and tastes best chilled I think!

Here's a pic of my Black Currant Mead. It was difficult to show the clarity of this with its deep, dark color.

I call this one the Quad...four different berries.

Celebrating my one year anniversary of making mead! Strawberry, tripleberry, JAOM, Spiced Apple, Blueberry Vanilla

 

[TRueff]

Cyser
-4 gal cider
-5lb honey
-wyeast dry mead
*11.2% abv
Cloudy appearance is from condensation; it was cold from the fridge - actually very clear

 

[Zbay]

Frankenmead...It's a little of everything

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Blackberry Melomel and Vanilla hydromel. Labeled for a work party

 

[TeufelHundenM198]

Raspberry Vanilla Mead... my personal favorite, and my most successful wine among the locals. Out of 5 gallons, these 5 particular bottles got the wax seal for extended aging. In 10 years I'll open a bottle and we'll decide what to do with the rest of 'em after that.

This pic doesn't do them justice though.... the mead itself is an absolutely brilliant red color. One of the best looking wines I've ever made. For whatever reason the raspberries imparted a much more ruby shade than they usually do.

sick ass bottles man, does it taste sickly fruity though? i've only had what i guess i can call commercial, probably aged 4 mo's melomels that tasted kinda sickly. howsit taste? i really want to make that recipe the BOMM style

 

[TeufelHundenM198]

By sickly do you mean rotten? I make mostly melomels and haven't had an off tasting fruit one yet. In 5 gallons I used ~7lbs of berries, so it ended up being a nice sweet raspberry flavor right after the first taste of honey.

Those bottles really are badass. I'd buy that if I saw it at the store for sure.

Bottled my first batch today.

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Cataloged all my mead last night to see where I was at.

Starting at the left column and moving right.
1st Column - bomber and 12oz of Peppercorn saison mead - From 2/27/14
2nd Column - One 750 and 2 bombers of Vanilla Hydromel - From 1/1/14
3rd Column - One 750 and 6 12oz bottles of Lambic mead - From 5/12/13
4th Column - One 750 and 1 12oz bottle of Three honey traditional - From 5/20/13
5th Column - One 750, one 500, and 2 12oz bottles of Blackberry Mead - From 11/13/13
Front - One 12 oz bottle and a glass of Bochet - From January 2013

So all in all, about 340 FL oz of ready to drink mead.

 

[W0GWT]

Oaked Bochet I made in early January.

I hate to be "that guy", but...

Originally, I was going to pour it because it tasted weird, but I bottled it and forgot about it for 7 months.
Just found the bottles in a Rubbermaid container in the basement and it is pretty decent.

I always used to be annoyed by the "set it and forget it" mead folks, but they're right in this case.

 

[catalanotte]

Blackberry Mead. This is my first mead. About 3 1/2 years old and getting better. Down to 9 bottles and trying to savor them on the right occasions.

 

[mooney]

Bottling my 2 year old heather honey mead. Been looking forward to trying this for a long time because a lot of money went into it

 

[Goofynewfie]

From a 5g batch where I burnt 3.5lbs of the honey like a bochet

 

[bob1852]

Mead sampling tonight.

'11 raspberry, '13 blackberry, '12 raspberry, '13 multi berry

Always amazed how much the raspberry color fades over time...

 

[robimus]

My caramelised honey Hydromel

Yes it is cloudy but nobody seems to mind and it tastes just fine so if it ain't broke don't fix it!
