our first mead
Seriously, I would like to source these. The google translation of the page was helpful, can you help find these in bulk and 750ml ?
I just bottled my JAOM. I have to say, it tastes pretty gross right now. It's not so much the taste but the aftertaste. Yuck. I'm gonna put the bottles away and hope it gets better. I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't, there's a lot of hoopla revolving this mead.

As long as it finished sweet and not dry then wait till it is more than 6 months old and you will be all smiles drinking this.
I have to admit that my favorite JAOM variant replaces the O with a P for pineapple. Whole Pineapple cut in chunks after peeling. Ages sweet but not syrupy sweet, no acid bite... Think I'll make some of that again soon.
That's the thing, it's not sweet.

My first cherry melomel. I like the colour. I didn't backsweeten so there is not much cherry flavour now. Will check back next year,

Here's my first attempt, a shot at a medium-sweet show mead based on a cross between recipes, including Ken Schramm's and Charlie Papazian's. It's been about a day since pitching and it's burping along nicely. (Not sure if the blow-off is necessary, but I figured it was better to err on the side of not having junk erupt out of an air lock...)
I've been enjoying this thread so long that I thought I should contribute! Learning a lot on these forums...
In order these are: Show Mead with local (MN) Ames honey; JAOM; Cherry/Strawberry; Raspberry; Cherry Cinnamon
