What's on deck for 2023?

[Dan O]

Over the weekend, I added a second round of tart & sweet cherries, along with toasted cocoa nibs & a couple of vanilla beans for Shawn Darryl Harris to my chocolate/cherry/ vanilla/ pomegranate mead . Only 24 hrs after additions, it was totally magical. If it was that delicious that soon after additions, I can't wait to see what it will be like in a year. I do believe I'll be making another batch of that very soon, possibly even a 6 gallon batch.

The bananas foster bochet is still in the planning stages. Brown sugar will be incorporated somewhere in the process. Still trying to decide what honey I should bochet, & whether I should backsweeten with a different honey or the same one.

@Dan O Did this ever come to fruition?

@Dan O Did this ever come to fruition?

Sadly, not yet. But I still have the plan in the works. The hardest part will be incorporating the walnut & butter flavors as they both have oils. I did manage to find some water soluble extracts, but I haven't bought them yet. Extracts are stupid expensive & I'm always a little hesitant to pull the trigger on expensive stuff I've never tasted before, but that's the way of the mead maker.
This mead will probably be to most expensive experiment of any mead I've made yet
Decisions, decisions
