Pineapple mead (melomel). Used 3 12oz bags of frozen pineapple from Trader Joe's. Pineapple flavor is subtle. I'm not that familiar with meads, but it tastes pretty good to me!

Nice color on that one. I slice up a little ginger root with my pineapple. Recipes vary but it's always 'A lot of pineapple, a little ginger.' Looks like you made a good mead.

What kind of bottles are those in the bottom picture? They're beautiful!

 

[smishylyn]

I couldn't tell ya! A friend of mine saved them from a bachloreete party. They are from some French white wine. I'm definitely recycling those for another few batches.

That is awesome! Did you get etched bottles too?

 

[hezagenius]

Here's a batch I made recently, Raining Blood. I've carbed this up to about 15psi. There's no head retention (not sure why I thought there would be) but it's got that carb bite I wanted. It masks some of the alcohol burn.

That is awesome! Did you get etched bottles too?

No, but that would have been awesome. Maybe I should make a label...we are having a bare tender serve the beverages. I making Harder apple cider and an American cream ale too.

I took an official FG and it came out to 12.8% Started with OG 1.116 about 3.3 lbs/gallon, and use EC-1118 champagne yeast. 6 month primary cleared, 3 month secondary cleared, will be title about two months to serve. Sooner than I'd like but it takes good now so two month should be smoother.

Bare tender at the wedding? Is that a good idea?

 

[Deafmeadmaker]

No, but that would have been awesome. Maybe I should make a label...we are having a bare tender serve the beverages. I making Harder apple cider...

Bare Tender... Harder apple cider... I think we have an idea for a new brew pub. Whoever builds this, I will attend.

 

[ike8228]

Bare tender at the wedding? Is that a good idea?

Yes the place we are going requires it. It also doesn't allow hard alcohol so Mead it is!

Well, after a poor start on mead a few years ago I decided to try it again. I thought, GO BIG OR GO HOME. So I put on 60L.

Orange, cinnamon, Cloves, EC1118. Tasted great after 2 months so I drank it. I have 2 60L on the go now.

Racked the older one, 2 months, to secondary. Racked the dregs to a bottles to cold crash and test. Took a small sample and it is nice.

The fermentor in front is

oranges
Juniper berries
Lemon
cloves
cinnamon
Toasted oak
golden syrup
Sugar
blueberries

The back one is the same just different proportions. Started a week ago.
Staggered fermentable and nutrient. Other bits and bobs to tweak the taste.

The one on it's own is elderflower wine. I stole a pint of it last night to sample and I woke up with a HUGE headache:cross:. Might let it sit for a few months before I try that again. It was a SLOW ferment.

The last pic is the yeast I am washing and will use in my next mead. I also have the ingredients for a stout which I will get around to when I rack the elderflower wine.

Can someone tell me how to post pics so I dont have to tilt my head 90 degrees to see them? Tried a few times and I'll be dipped if I can figure it out! Looking through the thread it appears I'm not the only one! Thanks!

 

[MarkKF]

Not sure if it’s here or a different forum. But I edit the photo on my phone then save and attach.

It seems like... If in doubt, tilt your camera 45 degrees. That way, you double your chances of an 'upright' photo.

Just had some of this last night, and it was AWESOME !!!!!!
