I'm brand spankin' new to making mead. I made a small batch last year just because I wanted to brew something and I had a bunch of extra honey on hand. I liked the results, but for some reason I didn't make any more. Last week, I made a cyser and the must tasted great. Took a hydro sample tonight and again, it tastes great.
I've had the B. Nektar Evil Genius and thought is was pretty meh. I think they bittered with some of the hops(?), as opposed to just dry hopping, and I'm interested in dry hopping. Has anyone here dry hopped a mead or cyser that made you stop and say DAMN! that's good? I'm sure it's been done, just wondering what hops you more experienced meaders use for something like a straight honey mead or a cyser. I have a bunch of Simcoe, Cascade and CTZ, and also some Galaxy, Nelson and Mosaic. Any experience with those or should I go shopping?
