Dangerously easy to drink! The calculated 14 % abv isn't noticable at all! How will this end? OG was 1.102, FG 0.999.
My first mead: JOAM, made as per the recipe, except I didn't add any spices except the orange, and used 71B yeast. Made october 10, 2011. Bottled December 29, 2011. Tasted today, February 5, 2012. I've never really tasted mead before, but I think this is delicious! I can mainly taste the orange, with a hint of honey in the background. Quite dry, but very pleasant.

DisturbdChemist said:here is my orange mead still in the primary for 3 months right now. The fruit is slowly dropping but probably move or bottle it before that.

Furmental said:3 months on top of the yeast cake and you have the rine in there? Have you tasted it?
Bhunter87 said:People think that mead yeast throws off off flavors like Beer yeast does, but from what I understand, it doesn't... I dunno. Once I've made 10+ batches I'll let ya know lol
You can get off flavors from wine yeast in mead, they seem to be different. I've never tasted dms in mead, even young. But I have gotten other off flavors like the plasticky flavor and harshness from fusel alcohols.
Some wine yeasts also produce ester that effect taste, like 71b & 71v.
I'd recommend cutting your fruit smaller, makes it infinitely easier to get it out on your first rack.
