It was an experience... thats all I can say... lol. Let me put it this way, I have a friend who is an adventurous eater like me. One night at a restaurant we shared plates of goat brains, testicles, heart etc.

He looked at the okra mead and said "James, that looks disgusting"

lol. Did the mead thicken like Gumbo? What made it look disgusting instead of goat balls? Okra doesnt even sound good with mead. I'm thinking what else I can put in a mead. This weekend i'm doing a tart cherry mead. It should be good

If you check out the okra debacle thread you can see the whole video of me tasting on page 9. It was like egg-white. The bottle appears to have some manner of science specimen in it. At just about the same time I put together a persimmon mead in the same size bottle that should be available to taste right about now... Im sure that that will be less dastardly.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

It didnt look that tasty according to your video. You should of kept it and dare your friends to down a shot. Also thank you for attempting okra so I can skip that one.

Haven't been around for a while, and this is my first time in the Mead forum.

I was inspired to start brewing mead after a recent homebrew club meeting. I can see this becoming my new obsession.

My first batch's, both are traditional, with 3lbs local honey and Lalvin D-47.
As soon as these go into the secondary I'll start two more and experiment some.... If I can wait that long.

Absolute hardest thing about making mead is the start up. You want to drink it, but you know if you can hold off for a few (dozen) months your product will be better.

But the temptation of that liquid gold...

That is some really professional bottling. You pay some one to do that?

Wanted to do something special with my Wolf's Moon Mead so...couple hours free and help from fellow brewers and Wassail! Dire Wolf Mead!

 

[SireFelps]

No! I don´t pay. I made the labels and send it to print in A3 matte vinil paper. I cut with a blade... it takes a huge time, but in the end is nice Nice you liked!

There you are sir! It is a sweet desert wine. Next time I'll be making it not as sweet...

Wow all these pics look wonderful.. Haven't began brewing mead yet, but been wanting to for a couple of months. This thread has definitely helped boost my motivation!

All that work was really worth it. Those are some really great looking bottles. Good job.

Just finished bottling a lemonade mead. Going to let that sit for awhile.

A buddy of mine made up a label for me too!

45 day mark super excited

45 days and its that clear!?!?

 

[jackfrost]

45 days and its that clear!?!?

Yes sir...going to rack one more time at 60 days....it went from a 68°to 58° room when ferment stopped.....

I need a better camera, my blueberry melomel is crystal clear. I could read a newspaper through the brown 5 liter jug I bulk age it in...

Second picture is a tiiiny bit better, I suppose.

Also, I'm thinking of making a blueberry and elderflower mead... that'd be awesome.

Young blackberry mead. 5 months. Not very good but all I have to drink in the house at the moment except for rice wine.

 

[Arpolis]

I here ya. I am out of mead at the moment. Can't wait for my ginger mead and braggot to be done.

I'm with you. I have seven gallons sitting in carboys clearing naturally. And nothing in a bottle for drinking. I need to make sure I have a well planned pipeline from now on.

I saw somebody else do this so I thought I would give it a try. Simply fermented an AAOM inside a pumpkin. It added a little color but not much pumpkin flavor. I bottled it in ice wine bottles and two twisted neck bottles I found on ebay. My daughter did the label art for me.
Turned out great and was lots of fun to do!

Appel orange mead

 

[SireFelps]

Nice experience!!! How the pumpkin shows upon the mead? never tried yet!

 

[JustinCider]

Really cool pumpkin idea!

 

[gunnerm109a6]

Nice experience!!! How the pumpkin shows upon the mead? never tried yet!

There was a little flavor from the pumpkin but the spices and alcohol quickly overpowered it.

A from-scratch bumbleberry mead that just got bottled yesterday. Samples were, um... well let's just say it's a miracle there's any left.

 

[Bluespark]

These pictures make me so impatient for my mead to be finished and bottled! The only thing I have that is done fermentation and clear is JOAM...
