That sounds good. I may have to make a juniper based mead one of these months.I made a version of JAOM with added juniper berries and EC 1118 I think it was, I used dried juniper berries, and then I racked onto oak in secondary, it is fantastic. I used about a half a cup of dried juniper berries in a one gallon batch, but I think I would go a whole cup next time.
Hopefully corona doesn't mind I had to reuse Some of their bottles. This was my first batch and it came out great.
This is my mead area. Note my complete disregard of the rules, and the fact that I play around with flavors willy-nilly. Sometimes I even come up with a tasty mead! I love playing with breadyeast because its cheap, I only have to wait a few months to get a good idea of the flavors, and I don't have to worry about off-flavors in my hot-as-moose-yayas apartment.
Note also the chalkboard area that my SWMBO painted on the wall to surprise me. When I got home from work she had done a full write-up on the meads I had fermenting and aging. I think I'll keep her!

DisturbdChemist said:I will. I got plenty of it (but not in mead terms lol)

Beer_me_plz said:I have the same glass from your post. It says it's for whiskey but I think it's great for beer. Really concentrates the aroma.

Looks very professional. I'm a huge fan of the frost glass.
I wanted to go to that fest. Good luck.
