Greeting fellow Meaders! My name is Eric and I have recently joined the world of mead making. I currently have 4 1gallon containers with a variety of different meads. The first is just a basic must; the second is called Gobsmack'd which is similar to the Ancient orange recipe by a famous meader. I added a few embellishments to make it my own, thus the name. By research and amounts of sugars and seasonings added, I imagine it will finish a bit sweet and p'raps a bit tart. Time will tell! The third batch is called Apple-jack the Ripper and blends apples, cinnamon and brown sugar with the honey. The fourth batch is called Dad Plum Crazy, and has, as you would expect, plums. The first two fermented quickly, then tapered off after 4 days, now just a couple bubbles a minute. The other two are still bubbling vigorously.
Looking forward to learning all there is to know about mead! Downside? I can't drink any for months!
