Quick and diry guide to fermenting fruit - cider and wine
It's been so long since I made a batch of mead.. Long enough that I've forgotten half the homebrewing lingo lol. Honey is just so dang expensive nowadays, even in bulk!!
I will brag just a tiny bit about an old creation though... A meadery opened in my state several years ago and it's been awesome to see their business thrive. The mead is absolutely fantastic. But I will admit... I was super proud when I compared a sample of one of my traditional batches (d-47, orange blossom honey) to a bottle of their own. I'll be the first to admit when one of my batches just ain't hitting right, but I honestly preferred mine. Pretty sweet moment for me, especially since I remember babying that batch like you wouldn't believe.
That was a couple years ago, but that mead is still aging in bulk. I wanna say it's around 6 or 7 years old now, but I've lost all my old notes. About time for another sample, I think.
I admire your restraint in testing your batch
