Dan, been a while! Thanks for the hints. I’ll get things together and give it a try. You never know until you find out right? Thanks, Art

I like making a 1 gallon peach mead with 3 pounds of peaches and 3 pounds of honey. This time I only have 2 pounds of peaches and I want to use this juice. (I’ll try to attach pictures) It’s hard trying to figure how much juice to use and should I substitute the juice for water, etc. Anybody use...

What kind of wine cooler do you folks use for mead? Didn’t think I needed one in the basement until my Airconditioning went out for three weeks! Im thinking 35 bottles at a time. Thanks! Art

That’s good to know. Still new at this but its still fun making. It’s honey harvesting season! Time for more experiments! Thanks, Art

Hey Dan… Yes it was clear before I backsweetened it. I didn’t cold crash it or add chemicals. That was back in April. I’m learning mead is mead and sometimes is cloudy!

Bottled my Blueberry Muffin Mead after adding more honey as a back sweetener. Came out a little cloudy and not as sweet as the wife wanted but it should be ok! Will it become sweeter with age or more dry? Thanks! Art

Looking good. I’ll give it a few years!

Ok!

Crash cleared it up well. Will it stay this way without doing anything else or do I have to add a clarifying agent? Thanks, Art

I think I’ll try the crash method. I have patience. Nobody else around here does. 🙂

This Pyment is still cloudy I started in February. I have some campden tablets to use. When should I use some? Thanks!

Here’s the White Grape Pyment started 2-13-22 SG 1.122 April 14, 2022 I took a reading of 1.024? Think I’m going in the right direction. It’s a little cloudy but I’ll give it time. Thanks! Art

My Blueberry Orange Mead 4.978 ABV by formula. More than likely I messed up the SG at the start but it’s nice looking! We will see in a year.

Here’s my Blackberry Orange Mead, all bottled up. Your tips worked well! Anxious to see what’s it’s like in a year. Gravity formula came out 14.934 Art

I added two vanilla beans and two cinnamon sticks. We will see!
