Homebrew Mead Wine

[Brian]

Bottled some orange spiced mead tonight (similar to JAOM). It's hard to see with the 12:30am lighting but it had a beautiful color and was super clear. iPotato quality picture. Now I suppose I need to make some labels so I remember in a couple years what batch this is.

You may have a little too much to handle there. I'll help you drink it...

When you start your random number raffle to give away a few, I pick 17.

I've always wanted to try Mead wine (albeit a bit pricey in stores). I inquired about it in the "sippin" thread, but apparently that was the wrong place.

Yeah it's the price of the honey that kills you. Figure $50-100 of honey per carboy. Even though you get 20+ bottles, it's not cheap.

Planning to age these a bit longer in the bottles now, but we can plan on tasting party later this fall... I've got a few more stashed in a dark corner of the basement waiting for bottles.

It looks tasty. I'm not much of a wine person though.

Me either, so we'll see how this goes. LOL.
I think it's mandatory that I buy a Norse Thor costume or something and drink this wearing it, from what people tell me.

I'm down for your drinking party. We can raid a college and steal some wenches.. I'd say virgins but who wants to deal with that bs

You should do a write up on ingredients and the process.

Like Herman said...

Tasting party...When are you doing a brewing party?

I have tried to get several people to teach me and nothing yet.
