Here are six of the seven meads I have made so far. Left to right: Traditional Mead (honey, water, yeast - but you all know that ; Colorado Peach (18% abv!); Bochet (was dark as night but after a year aging has turned very reddish, don't know why, love the color and clarity); Game of Thrones Mead - "Khaleesi's Capsumel (jalapeno peppers, dates, Colorado sourced honey); Lemon Grass Mead (very youing, simply traditional mead with several stalks of split lemongrass for three weeks in secondary); and a very old bottle of JAOM made with oranges, grapefruit, and raisins. Not shown, second batch of a Sparkling Hefe Mead, still in secondary (noble hops, fermented using Bavarian hefeweizen yeast).

That looks awesome! How many pounds of fruit did you use? Dried or fresh?

Sorry, didn't see your post. I used canned fruit (7 lbs is all that would fit). I checked the ingredients and there was nothing freaky, just fruit and sugar water. I let the sugar water drain off before adding to the carboy. Left them in for 2 - 3 weeks and racked. It is bulk aging for a couple months before I bottle. It has a little haze now. I am hoping it will clear on its own or I will have to add some clearing agent.

Ginger peach melomel (Schramm's formula). Backsweetened to 1.014, will bottle in a month. Fresh North Georgia Loring Peaches!

 

[atoughram]

This is the last bottle of mead from the only batch of mead I've made - It's ten years old. I'd like to make some more sometime.

EDIT: Looking back at my records, this was brewed January 18th, 2003...

 

[GeorgiaMead]

I bet that is delicious 10yrs old!

 

[TheWeeb]

10 years, an inspiration for putting aside several of my own.

Still needs time to clear before I bottle it, but here is a honey dew mead....super sweet! Taste like honey dew melon!

Just talking this 11 month old orange blossom honey mead out to look at the Roses.

I'm assuming you used honey dew melon, and not honey dew the aphid piss?

Lol, yeah! The melon!

That's for him to know and YOU to find out. Care for a taste?

 

[Zaffo]

Well, we're all drinking fermented bee barf, so how bad could aphid piss be?

My first mead ever!

Elderflower-Honeywine

 

[Bluespark]

Tasmanian leatherwood honey traditional. 14%, 7 months old. I didn't have high hopes for this when I started, but it is AMAZING. Dry, strong floral aroma, resembles Concord grapes and elder flowers. Really amazing honey.

Semi-sweet, wildflower mead 16%ABV

Sweet, thanks!

Vanilla Chai Mead (has already seen some action ^^)

Cherry Mead

Work in progress:

Banana mead (done fermenting, needs to age & clarify)

Apricot mead (2 days since start of fermentation)

Opened up a bottle of my Cyser last night. The taste and the aroma is fantastic!

 

[Beernik]

Since I was up anyway because I made the mistake of drinking coffee in the evening, figured I might as well label.

3 Goats Gruff Cyser

 

[carvindc125]

My first mead in the secondary. Made from raw honey straight from the bee keeper.

 

[TheWeeb]

Carvindc, you inspired me to take a pic of one of mine, ready to transfer, made from honey from the hives in my own back yard. You cannot get more "locally sourced" than this!
