Hi all!
I'm new to the forum AND new to Mead brewing. I've got experience with ciders and have dabbled in wines, but would like to get into Mead.
I'll start by saying I have a little bit of a strange pallet. I really enjoy dry carbonated drinks. So, as you can imagine, I have a hard time finding good ciders and mead to drink. Recently I have enjoyed a Mead by Rogue called 19 Original Colonies Mead. It is brewed with 5 ingredients... Hopyard Honey, Wildflower Honey, Jasmine Silver Green Tips Tea, Champagne Yeast and Water.
It has such a beautiful flavor. I just love it!!!!!
Can someone give me some tips on recreating this flavor? I understand the whole fermentation process and have access to some very nice wildflower honey, but would like an experienced voice on how to create the pungent and dry flavor exemplified by this Rouge Mead. I'm wanting to start small, so one or two gallons to begin with.
Any and all help is deeply appreciated!
