This is my Joe's but with Lemon rather than Orange.

That stuff looks gloriously golden. I made mine exact to the recipe with oranges, but if mine looks as vivid when done, I will be hyped.

Forgive me, but I couldn't go through all previous posts to se if this has already been covered: Has anybody tried doing this with Agave Nectar? I'm thinking about adding lime and maybe a jalapeño or 2 to get something along the lines of margarita mead.
I have to ask, as a newb. Is possible to NOT take a picture once it clears

99Beers said:Thanks for the tip. I was thinking 2 limes, but maybe I'll do one lime and a mandarin orange instead.
Before you bottle it do you always wait for all the fruit to fall? I forgot about mine in a cabinet and just checked it and the majority of the fruit is still floating and I made it 4 months ago. Do I need to keep waiting?
I'm not familiar with Meads, do I need to prime it before bottling like a normal brew or does it go directly into the bottles and capped???

When bottling JAOM should u use k-meta?

I can relate to that. Did you sneak a taste while bottling?
I know this question wasn't directed to me, but i'd like to chime in and say that when I sampled my JAOM at bottling, I actually thought it was already pretty damn tastey and didn't think it tasted bad or overly "pithy" at all. But that's just my opinion. It's been really difficult to NOT open up 1 of my 4 aging bottles.. I'm trying hard to let it age in the bottle for 4-6 months before I crack one open.
Of course I sneaked a taste, It was delicious, I used 2 cloves cause I'm a big fan of clove. After its bottled ill start up another bottle... Or two...
Newb question on JOAM, if I want to do a 5 gallon batch do I need to multiply yeast as well? Thanks!
