Meet the mead.

So we've been brewing our first batch of mead. It was a lot of fun, and there'll be more to come

Wow! ^^ Seems like you and your friends have a lot of good times to look forward to! Have fun!

[tabalon]

Thanks :)

I think I'll be doing more batches as side-projects every now and then, now that I have all that stuff around. It's a slow learning process, though. I hope we can enjoy some of the results together at some point, possibly after some cooking evening's dinner.

Looks great! What alcohol percentage do the different brews have?

Personally I always like the dry meads with high alcohol percentages better. Sweet mead is too sweet for me. ;)

[tabalon]

They're at 14.5% and 13.5% on the Vaguely-Approximatic-Guesso-o-Meter.

And they're not terribly sweet. Like you, I prefer mead that's not too sweet. I like sweet, but you can have too much of a good thing.

Mmmmh, remind me to stop by a6t your place one day ;)

I'm looking forward to the next brewing round and will gladly lend you my hand again. :)

[tabalon]

Thank you again for all your help! And for offering to help again. Shall we try to flavor one variety this time?

Strawberry!!!

Is there any chance of testing some at any of the various conventions we'd meet this year?

I am always interested in "not-so-sweet"meads. I don't like any of the commercially available ones for that reason.

I've considered selling some at MMC, to get some of the expenses back. But even if I don't sell I'll be sure to bring some samples so you can see how you like it. :)

Ich mach' noch mehr. Die erste Runde hat sich erstaunlich schnell in Luft aufgelöst. Andererseits waren es von Anfang an nicht so viele Flaschen.
