part of the bottling of a traditional mead with the homebrew club. I took 11 bottles home and left 10 for sale to the other club members. Straight up basic three ingredients, came in at 12% abv and is nice and smooth.

Really nice color and clarity!

Homebrew club selling their mead?

Homebrew club selling their mead?

Of course not! Sharing should be the word, and we all contribute back to the cost of ingredients, which go into the pot that buys more ingredients. Which are you, TTB or ATF?

My blueberry melomel:

hello bssrf4, that looks absolutely divine!!!! would you be willing to share your recipe? thanks.

 

[bssrf4]

But of course:

1 gallon:

3 lbs of clover honey
1 pint of blueberries
Lallemand 71b-1122 - 1 packet

Freeze the blueberries and then thaw them when you are ready to brew. Mix honey with warm water, drop in the blueberries and sprinkle on the yeast, top off with water.

I did SAN and punched drop the cap a few times a day for the first 3 or so days. After the mead clears (about 1 month or so) rack off and let age for a few months.

The mead in that pic is about 5 months old.

2 things:

1.) I wish I had used more blueberries, or maybe placed blueberries in the secondary.

2.) I really think punching down the cap and SAN works wonders.

I think it would qualify as semi-sweet, with a hint of blueberry. The color is nice and everyone seems to enjoy it. Sorry no OG FG measurements taken.

Enjoy!

Grapefruit and pepper mead, came out very tasty!

 

[dclaytor]

Newby to this site, but have been home brewing for some time. Bottled 5 gallons of this melomel in October 2011. Very fragrant and fruity, but not too tart, a little on the dry side, but leaves a good after taste. Still a bit yeasty, but is aging away. It should be ready by Christmas .

10 lbs mixed berries
16 lbs Tupelo & Wild Flower Honey (mixed)
Lavlin D47 Yeast

(Now that I've opened the bottle, I'll have to drink it, and it's a 2 liter bottle, hehehe)

Three month old traditional that I hit up with some Bentonite. I'm also trying the sterilized marble thing to take up some head-space.

Grapefruit and pepper mead, came out very tasty!

Black pepper or chili pepper?

 

[LittleHippieMama]

Just racked off Primary into individual gallons. Left to right:
Elderberry (dried berries with a stick of cinnamon)
Orange Raisin Spice (3 oranges w/pith removed, cloves, sweet cinnamon and cassia cinnamon and raisins)
Ginger and Lemon (2 lemons pith removed, palm size hand of ginger)
Chai Tea (cardamom, 2 cinnamons, star anise, cloves, Irish Breakfast Tea)
Green Tea and Lemon (Gunpowder Green Tea and 2 lemons pith removed)

I may have put too much green tea in, time will tell.
I gave them all a squeeze of honey because it was dry, will probably have to sweeten more before bottling.

Orange spice mead and a show mead

Mango Habanero Capsicumel

This is the first, second and third attempts at making meads.

I have been brewing beer for about a year now. I ventured onto the mead forum; and decided I had to try the JAOM. It looked to simple to mess up. Only time will tell. Hope my first mead turns out good.

 

[Thundernick]

I added this in the thread I have going, but I figured I'd post it in the master thread too.

Lambic Mead! Also in the separate recipe thread (Storm - Lambic Mead)

 

[JuneHawk]

After a failure earlier this year, I decided to give mead another try so I whipped up a batch of JAOM yesterday. Unfortunately, I only had just under 3lbs of honey so I had to scale down accordingly. We'll see how it turns out.

Traditional Mead, photographed on the source of one of the ingredients, a bee hive in my backyard, straw-colored honey-water-yeast goodness; I am one - like many here - to create endless varieties with endless other ingredients, but if you have never stepped back and done the simplest form of this elixer then you are missing out on what is pure and right and most delicious.
