Racked over 5 gallons today a traditional a cinnamon clover a dark cherry a strawberry and an orange clove short mead. The strawberry is the clearest. All taste good but pretty hot. They need to sit a few more months.

Racking day. Cranberry. 7.88% ABV.

My first ever batch. Today is 1 wk after pitching yeast

 

[johnnyseko]

Started this today. First attempt at Mead. Looks like SG @1.100, a little higher than I wanted but once I started dissolving the honey, I couldn't stop until it was all used...44oz honey for a gallon batch. Right in line with the Mead calculator. Will feed Cote des Blancs nutrient for the next few days. Fingers crossed that this ages well.

So I pitched a 3.5 gal raspberry honey mead last night around 6p with 71B. About 3 hours later I went downstairs to see if I had made it through the lag phase and this is what I found.

 

[JDWebb]

Looks like you missed the lag phase by about 10 minutes!...LOL Looks like it's percolatin' to me!

My mango mead with black pepper and ginger. It's also my first tap release

Three Raspberry Lemon batches of varying sweetness. I never wrote down anything, or took gravities, one of them I finished and bottle carbonated, it went crazy fast, everyone wanted more, and I only had 1 gallon... DOH! the other two are bottled up, but I haven't tried them yet. I'm in the process of buying a house, once I do, I'm going to start several big batches, probably do 1, 5-7 gallon batch a week for about 2 months so I can get a supply back in, that assumes my bees put out though...

 

[fossilcat]

This is "most" of what I've got going now. I won't be doing anything else until the elderberries ripen, then the peaches....maybe.

Just made the mead for my wedding in August of next year. 5gal of traditional and the other 5gal is going to be a raspberry melomel. Started a little lower than I wanted @ 1.096 but it should be good. Using 71b and a staggered nutrient schedule. It’s now happily bubbling away in the fermenter.

My first melomel. Berry melomel 10.5% ABV. Added 3lbs honey, 1 cup froz blueberries, 1 cup froz strawberries, 1 large orange, champagne yeast, yeast nurtrient, 1 gal water, 1 tsp pectic enzyme. Primary for two weeks, secondary for two weeks. I used a mesh bag for the fruit which I won't use in the future. Goal was to not get much sediment, still got a lot.

Ended up with ~1.5 gal. Tastes amazing, shared with friends, neighbors, everyone. Feedback was positive, comments on how refreshing it tastes.

Super Berry Melomel. Catches the light nicely.

Straight up local honey mead, sweet, just bottled yesterday. Be a few months before taste!

 

[greenmage]

L to R: triple berry, chocolate coffee, and blueberry pomegranate hibiscus meadowsweet... Taken just prior to pitch...

Here is a raspberry melomel I fermented a while back. Forgot to take a picture of the final product, but did take one of it fermenting. Came out fantastic!

Used the recipe from this post (not mine).

A lower ABV cranberry mead I started back in March. Bottled today.

How is yours? Mine looks beautiful but has a bit of a burn on the back from the high alcohol.

 

[cooper]

It’s tasting pretty good right now. It finished at 1.015 and I think it might even be a tad too sweet. Really nice berry flavor and the alcohol is just barely noticeable which is nice.

I was able to really control the fermentation temps for the first three weeks of fermentation and I think that really helped out on keeping the alcohol burn minimal.

I wish I would have taken the time to fine it with SuperKleer though before bottling it. It's got a lot of haze once it's chilled which I think fining would have eliminated. It's really good though too at room temp so it's not that big of a deal.

I think I fermented mine alright, I just think I probably pushed the % alcohol too high and it is taking forever to mellow out.

I spoke too soon. I just opened a bottle I had chilling in the fridge and it’s crystal clear. Not sure what was going on with the one that was cloudy, could have been one that picked up some sediment during bottling, but I’m happy!

Chocolate Vanilla Hydromel pre-pitch. I'm gonna call it Love Potion Number 9, so I made it up right there in the sink.
