I've been home brewing for awhile now, and finally decided to take the plunge into mead making. Im just about done with Schrams Complete meadmaker, and cant wait to whip up my first batch.
Im planning on making two batches, one Ive already determined will be malkores not so ancient mead. It seems relatively easy and fail proof.
For my other batch I would like to make a sweet melomel. I know I'm probably asking for a bit much here, but i'd like it to be fruity and sweet in flavor, economic/cheap(ive heard of using store bought fruit juice), I'd like it to be a speedy ager(this isnt of too much importance, but something I could drink in about 4 months or sooner), and I'd also like it to pack a little kick maybe 15% ABV or more.
If any of you have a recipe that would fit the bill of the above description PLEASE let me know. Im looking to make a 3-gallon batch.
Even if you have a recipe that comes close, or if you think you have a recipe that I might really like please let me know.
I've browsed the recipes here, and there are A LOT of appealling ones I'd love to try. But I would like to know which recipes are recomended by people who have made them and enjoy them, and can describe the flavor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.
