My first mead.

4 pounds of honey
1 Orange sliced
25 raisins
White Labs Sweet Mead Yeast (WLP720)
1 gallon of Spring water

This is going to be a bit on the sweet side. 1 week in and the fermentation is still going strong.

Third racking of the mead I started in May. I intend to age it for a bit, for the rest of 2015 at least, before bottling it. I harvested the 71b-112 "Narbonne" yeast, which I in turn harvested from the April batch, and intend to use it for the mead I plan on making at the end of June - if it survived the alcohol levels, anyway.

 

[rich5665]

Brewed up an Apple Mead today. I plan rack this for the first time on the 27 of July.

Here is my Pyment, added some honey for back sweetening today, after adding the sorbet to stop the yeast.

Honey and lemon mead / melomel.

Started on 30th June 2015.

Rowse honey, Brecon Carreg water, lemon juice, lemon zest, Safale S-33 yeast.

Smelled pretty good when I racked it earlier, too bad it got muddied up.

 

[Frognostic]

Six months of mead, brewed between January and June 2015, to make roughly eight gallons.

This is my mystery mead... All the remnants of all my other batches poured into one... Been working on it for a year and a half, it yielded 18 bottles.... Lol

LOL! I have a "Sludge" batch going also. Not for the faint hearted.

My first good tasting mead - currently 2 months old and tasting better than my first which is now a year old.

Decided to bottle my first batch yesterday (out of secondary).

Sadly we used a pretty crappy rake so we ended up with very cloudy bottles.
As you can see in the first bottle in the middle, the batch was very clear.

Also added a photo of the mead prior to bottling (My container has a dark hue, so the mead looks a lot darker in the big one )

Had a little sip:
Ended up a pretty strong and pretty sweet mead (~2 kilo honey on a total of 5 liter mead).
Now let's hope I can keep my fingers of from it long enough haha.

For my second batch I'm thinking of using all kinds of berries.
But first I will invest in a decent automatic rake that doesn't suck up all the stuff on the ground

Interesting bottles you have there, they look a lot like boiling flasks. What do you call that style of bottle?
Regards, GF.

Over here at the dutch webshop where I bought them they're called Tulipana Bottles (Derived from Tulip, you know, THE dutch flower )

http://www.brouwmarkt.nl/lege-fless...sierfles-0-2-ltr-hoog-model-tulipana-wit.html

They have 200 and 500 ml bottles.
I used them because they look great imo and they're a nice way to give small samples to friends ^^.

Not sure if you can use regular corks with them, tho. Didn't want to risk it so I used the supplied T-corks

Buckwheat honey mead from February 2014, been sitting in a demijohn with way too much headspace.

It smells good to me, with a distinct aroma of the buckwheat honey plus alcohol fumes.

Tastes a little hot still but not too bad.

Unsure what the abv is but I'd guess somewhere between 12-14%.

 

[Frognostic]

March mead, racked in May, topped up with some run-off from the primary container.

 

[Frognostic]

Mead made from raw wildflower honey in February 2014 but had to top it up with some buckwheat honey mead due to headspace in the carboy. Not sure what the abv is but it is over 10%.
