First mead of the year, for me. Original gravity reading was higher but the hydrometer is about 6 points two high when I tested it in water. If it ferments dry should come out around 11%. Had a fruit fly land in it when still in the primary bucket so I'm hoping it'll not turn into honeygar / honey vinegar / mead vinegar.

Isn't honey mead redundant?

It's made out of Rowse honey which is a brand of honey rather than a variety of honey haha.

A JAO BOMM, started first week of December. Racked off the fruit just after Christmas. It took a bit of work to make it clear (pectic enzyme, SuperKleer, cold crash) but after 3 weeks it looks to be ready for bottling. I need to do that soon so I can recover the gallon jug for a secondary on the cyser that's i the background.

Strawberry mead. Started in May 2015, and bottled tonight. This wouldn't fit in the bottles.

I did strawberry additions at three different times in the process. It's a tough delicate fruit to work with.

Pomegranate melomel, just over a year in the bottle,View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1454294846.931353.jpg

 

[CKuhns]

18lb Wildflower honey Lalvlin E1118 Champaign Yeast 4 pounds of Cranberries and 4 Pounds of Cuties in secondary with 1 oz Medium roast oak cubes for 2 weeks and 5 to 6 Cups or so brewed Black Tea after this pic was taken to remove head space for bulk aging. Looks amazing - currently at 17.0 ABV and tastes pretty darned good for being so young! Will age well.

Plain mead with 4 litres of Springbrook Falls water, 1.36kg of Rowse honey and Safale S-33 Belgian ale yeast. Gravity was 1.076 but that would have increased somewhat due to the addition of a higher-gravity honey and water mixture used to top up the jug (due to the undesirable headspace in there) making it somewhere around the 1.080 mark.

I added two vitamin B1 tablets on the first day and a 1/4 of a teaspoon of Youngs Yeast Nutrient (Diammonium Phosphate and Ammonium Sulphate) each of the first four days of fermentation, bringing it to 1tsp.

Fermentation started within 24 hours, gave off sulphur odours on the second day but on the third day after aerating and degassing with an egg whisk it was smelling sweet and floral.

Traditional mead after first racking and tangelo mead. Both around the two month mark.

 

[HB_in_Subic]

Finally bottled my Orange Blossom BOMM made with Abbaye Belgian Ale Yeast. Very tasty and sweet even though the FG is 1.002

 

[BjorntheBunnySlayer]

Just started a five gallon batch of orange and peaches for this summer. The must smelled great! It's got a healthy fermentation going as well.

That sounds awesome! Care to share the recipe?

We juiced Melon and cucumber, but we should have peeled the cucumbers as it is a bit salty, I can't remember how much of it we used, but other than that it was a traditional brew with just honey, d47 and deer park spring water. I hope it works better next time. It is refreshing, but if it was less salty it would be more enjoyable.

Sounds great for a late summer drink.
