I so agree. If you even look at that thing wrong the yeast swirls up, let alone bump it. LOL

Starlord has a case of moose knuckle. *snickers*

They didn't say anything about using the zest during fermentation or juicing the oranges. All they asked was if making a sugar syrup flavored with the zest of the sour oranges would be something to try for the back sweetening. Did they make a different post that got edited that I'm missing...

I've made two one gallon batches so far and both have started clearing at almost two months to the day, but neither had dropped the fruit by three months. I got impatient for the fruit, though I realize it's not necessary, and I rack it out from between the fruit and yeast, then let that settle...

My first batch just started clearing. Please pardon the kitty photobomb (photobuttt?) :eek:

Yeah, they make a big difference in home brew vs store bought appearance.

My very first mead ever with my very first labels ever. Of course it's a JAOM.:)

My very first ever labels. Those took much much longer to make than they should have. LOL

You missed Marktic's post from four hours before you adding his 4 gallons: 1693 + 4 = 1697 Plus yours: 1697 + 9 = 1706 Mine: 1 gallon Cherry Cyser 1706 + 1 = 1707 P.S. Regarding your 5 gallons of JAOM you aren't adding, I quote the Original Post of this thread:

I've started mixing it 50/50 with Coronas. I dubbed it a Mexican Shandy. :D

You totally ignored Cheesy_Goodness' 10 gallon addition the day before your post. Your total should be 1569. Then adding eogaard's gallon makes the current total: 1569 + 1 = 1570

1466.75 was not the correct total for the last addition. The correct total was 1476.75, as I already pointed out in the last post before yours. 1476.75 + 33.25 = 1510 The current total is 1510.

Those numbers equal 341 not 331. 1135.75 + 341 = 1476.75

That's 1129.75 (1124.75 + 5) 5 gallons Berry Honey Traditional Mead 1129.75 + 5 = 1134.75

So the boyfriend wants me to do a plain (traditional) mead using some 'berry' honey that he bought. We have 12 lbs of honey for 5 gallons. He said the label at the store (god forbid they put it on the honey jar) said it was either a blackberry, marionberry, raspberry honey or a blackberry...
