Homebrew Mead Wine

[GilpinGuy]

Today I got shit ton of honey, frozen fruit and water to get a bunch of 1 gallon batches going in the next few days - 8 gallons (a lot for me anyway). I am impressed with my strawberry, blackberry and raspberry meads. Same recipe, just different fruit. All of these came out good. A bit of back sweetening and they were yummy.

I'm dismayed that the orange came out nasty. I've read that it's not necessary to take the rind off so I didn't, but it came out wicked bitter...and tasted like rind. Any advice for oranges would be awesome....besides take the rind off, LOL

Look up the recipe for JAOM. Super easy and tasty. The outer rind is good, the white stuff under the rind is less good.
