Update on my mulberry and red plum melomels; just racked them off the pulp/lees. Gonna have to back sweeten the plum one though, it's pretty tart! Both are dry meads, and the mulberry one is darn tasty and would go well with red meats.

Oaked Berry Melomel I made in January... Despite the brilliant clarity and nice rosé color, it is as terrible as ever. Guess I'll forget about it for a while or maybe give it to a bum.

I'll never use Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast again.

On another note, while doing laundry, I discovered a Bochet stash in the basement:

Very pleasant surprise. I did this last year sometime and it is delicious. Almost has a Coca-Cola nose and aftertaste. I was also surprised to find it is slightly carbonated.

I also found 1 bottle of the first mead I made (outside of an incident in high school). I guess I'll bring it to Thanksgiving.

Here's a blackberry current and a cyser View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1417021533.517787.jpg just racked to second carboy will take pictures and post. The cyser came out dry and The other came out like a dessert wine.

My first batch of mead. It's in the glass on the left.
We bottled it in grolsch bottles and I'm pretty happy with it.

At around 2 bucks each I couldn't resist.
Thanks for the compliment.

I'm a beginner .. but here's to hoping! Orange Spice Mead and Raspberry Mead - pitched 5 days ago

 

[Jericurl]

Finally bottled the above pictured mead.
I'm pretty happy with the labels.

First image is a wildflower spiced mead (Vanilla). Came out nice and clear, but an unfortunate shade of piss. Fermented completely dry, and it needs some sweetening. It isn't bad dry, but its not particularly enjoyable either. I hope I can keep the clarity after making even a small honey addition.

Second is my Blackberry Braggot (pitched this morning, and its foaming away). High hopes.

Here is my first bomm bottled

 

[BobSeibel]

My first batch, its in secondary.
I took a simple "traditional" nordic recipe... and tweaked it to my liking... it is already delicious and I couldn't wait to put together the label. (found the odin pic on google)

6 gal (left) sweet, 3.5 gal sweet (raw honey desert wild flower), 3-4 gal Loki's brew ( remnants of all batches from the past year all in one). It's different every time. Lol

And a last gal of an orange mead.

My first batch of mead in a long, long time, (Made some prickly pear mead back in the 90's.) started it around Thanksgiving. Just waiting on it clarifying now, hope to use it for this year's Thanksgiving and Christmas toasts.

Oh, and yes, I really do need a dedicated area for this, right now I'm using the broom closet in the laundry room to store everything.

Happy New Year!

 

[Briatta]

My very first mead ever with my very first labels ever. Of course it's a JAOM.

 

[Jericurl]

Nice labels.

And don't you just love how slick the shrink tops make the bottles look?

 

[Briatta]

Nice labels.

And don't you just love how slick the shrink tops make the bottles look?

Yeah, they make a big difference in home brew vs store bought appearance.

Cheers!

Still waiting haha

A dry mead (10lb honey, 4G water) and a medium sweet mead (15lb honey, 4G water). Straight up honey and water using EC-1118, finishing at 9.4% and 11.3%. The med-sweet is way too sweet for my taste buds, but it is what it is.

I basically did a bulk bottling of this, putting it in large wine bottles - with the intent of moving it to more realistically-sized bottles for a typical drinking session or gifts. Does someone have any suggestions for some neat-looking (and relatively inexpensive) bottles that are 375ml or less?

Just bottled - yup I used a whiskey bottle to bottle... Don't hold it against me... I will remove the labels when I care more about label removal than I do about the AWESOMENESS that's contained inside... Meaning my wife might remove the labels at some point...

A Dry Light Mead I made last summer for my friend's Dec birthday. He shared it with some friends recently (bottled 08/28/14, opened 01/17/15) and the only tasting notes I received were "Dry". I only used 2lbs/gal for this one and didn't think there would be enough sugar left over after bottling to carbonate, but there they are...
