Mead Day

This past Saturday was Mead Day.  I did not brew any, but I did drink some of my own.  I have this Semi-sweet cherry mead that has been aging for about a year now and tastes pretty good.  It will probably need another 6 months or so before it is really good, but I can wait.

I entered that mead and my sweet mead into a contest at my local homebrew club…no I didn’t win or place or even show, but my club is known for mead masters and my mead did get a nod of approval from them.

So here’s to Mead Day!  Go out and have a mead!

My sweet

I recently bottled an excellent sweet mead that I think is my best so far. I think this is the first time that I made a mead that didn’t need to be aged before I could drink it. That’s not to say, however, that this mead will not benefit from some aging.

Didn’t take OG, but I am guessing about 15% abv on this one based on residual sugars (another guess based on taste).
Yum.

Honey + water + yeast + time = bliss
