Just wanted to finally say hello to everyone!
After bursting several balloons, mistaking cloves for 'cloves of garlic', and miscalculating the amount of honey - from what should have been 6 lbs I instead put 7 to 8 lbs of honey for a 2 gallon recipe, I find myself challenged to make better mead.
Thanks to Thawk, a patron member here, who has guided me patiently and encouraged (more like given me more than a couple of bottles of great tasting blueberry mead) i find myself wanting to make my own and share it with neighbors.
There's nothing like a great tasting mead after a hard days work or a gathering of friends with whom to share it with.
Right now am excited about a blackberry mead am fermenting, jao style.
2 gallon
3lbs blackberry puree
6 lbs hero honey
d47 yeast
Started Nov 21.
I hope to rack just before christmas and bottle a few months thereafter. I registered a few months back but only found the guts to say hello as I found myself just reading a lot about how you guys do your mead.
Am really glad there's such a website like gotmead.
