Got two going now, a milk mead and a coffee I'm doing as an experiment. Coffee is in secondary (yes, in an empty Kraken bottle) and milk is 6 days into primary.

The giant mason jar is sake I am messing with.

How was the milk done? Lactose sugar along with honey? Or just plan milk which would spoil before fermentation occurs?

I followed the milk mead recipe that is a different thread. Used lactose free milk and it curdled really fast. No smell or anything. Just racked into secondary, been only one week. Trying to make cheese from the curds now ha.

That just sounds terrible milk mead... But I guess gotta try to know how it is...

Sticks. I basically made Joam but with no fruit and an extra cin stick. One day I made Joam, a lemon Joam, and the cinnamon. The others were amazing and clear. Cinnamon taste fine, just cloudy.

Orange blossom mead. The best yet. Brewed November 2012

My first mead attempt. I looked at a number of different recipes and then kind of created my own. Will see how things turn out. It was in the primary for 5 weeks, and just transferred to the secondary this weekend. It looks pretty

Love finally being able to post a picture of a finished product! My first two meads.

The two bottles on the left are a 14.3% Georgia Wildflower traditional and the two on the right are a 12.6% Orange Blossom traditional. Both dry.

This was right after bottling. So tasty at 8 months old!

Front jug is sea-buckthorn mead. Back one is just wine. This is my favorite mead so far, honey comes out nicely with a slight hint of citrus.

 
I have 5 gallons of clover fermenting. It's been a month, and I'm growing impatient with it. I know it takes time to develop the flavors, but I want it now.



It's in the bucket, in the back of the photo. The bottles in front of said bucket will house that mead. Actually, there's a rather large bottle, obscured by the leg of my table. It drains about 25% of the fermenter, accounting for trub. Since this is my first mead, I'm not exactly sure how much trub comes out of a 5 gallon batch.

Nice collection of bottles. Brew something else that will be ready to drink sooner and take your mind off of that one. :)

I did. It, too, is taxing my patience.

BOCHET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12922061253_609fbe3e10_b.jpg



It's a bit young still... ~10 months old, but it's still pretty good. I have 9 bottles left aging away for the future.

I never had a bochet before I made this stuff, and I have to say, it's easily the most interesting mead I've made to date. On the front end it's an untraceable sweetness. Not terribly sweet, but a distinct, almost sharp bite of something that doesn't resemble honey... then the blackness takes you and it ends with a prominent almost coffee flavor. It's wonderful... We'll see how it ages out over the next several years. :D
