Here is a sample of my 1st true BOMM using Wyeast 1388, 6lbs of Wildflower honey, 6lbs of Orange blossom honey and 4lbs of Clover honey. SG 1.110 FG 0.990 = 15.7% ABV

Truly tastes great as is, there is still a residual honey taste and doesn't taste dry.

Interesting, I add hibiscus to one of mine. It seemed to "mellow" or smooth out the taste.

Where did you get those gallon jugs? I love the double loop rings.

Mesquite Honey oaked with American Med Toast. Very simple but maybe my favorite. I love the non-color too.

2 gallon batch of strawberry mead, picture was taken at the day of bottling on august 11th 2016. Created my own recipe for this. The ingredients are as follows: 2,4 kg strawberries, 1,4 liters organic acacia honey, 0,9 kg mixed flower honey, 3/4 tsp acid blend, 1 tsp pectolase, 1,5 tsp nutrients, Vintners Harvest SN9 wine yeast, back sweetened with white table sugar to reach SG of 1.002. Came out 13,3 % alcohol and tastes really good at bottling stage, the bottles will be stored and aged for at least six months.

How long did it take for the mead in your picture to get to that clarity? The color is amazing.

Almost traditional was started on 10-05-15. It was pretty clear @ 6 months or so if I remember correctly.

The Erlking was started 12-20-15. This one usually clears up fairly quickly, depending on the clarity of the apple cider or apple juice used.

Eldercherry Frankenmead was made from two different batches that were started on 01-5-15 and 03-07-15. They were crystal clear when I began tinkering with them around March of this year. Despite many additions, they never clouded up.

Adding bentonite during primary is something I've started doing and it usually results in crystal clear clarity and tightly compacting lees.

 

[bernardsmith]

it all starts here...

Sorry but it can't start "here". Distilled water has no minerals. Distilled water is OK for making cheese not mead. You want to use spring water. Mead can start there. :rockin:

 

[Vrishnak]

From left to right: 3lbs Sourwood honey, 1lb wildflower honey mead. 3lbs, 11oz Orange Blossom honey mead, 3lbs Gallberry honey and Apple Cider cyser. For the record to the above poster, the middle Orange Blossom mead was made using Distilled water.

First ever mead, in secondary.
Started this 10/3/16
1 gallon, 3 lbs of raw clover honey, lalvin ec1118. Transferred to secondary 10/22/16. In the background, 1 gallon pear wine in secondary.

 

[jamesbradbury]

My first attempt at making mead , about to rack into secondary, started this batch 25/09/16.The mead in the pail will be a strawberry and vanilla melomel.
I have just started a second batch which will be a pineapple melomel, blueberry, kiwi fruit and a apple cyser. In Western Australia we don't have a huge variety of honey or many home brew shops. Drunken plumber downunder
