My husband started his first batch of Bochet Mead (5 gal) on Saturday. It sound really yummy! "Bochet – a mead where the honey is burned to yield toffee, chocolate, marshmallow flavors..."
We took turns stirring and cooking the honey to a deep ruby color for over two hours. I will post a pic of the honey color changes when I get them off of my camera tonight. I hope the blisters were worth it?
Does anyone on the mead forum have experience with this variation? His yeast hasn't started up yet after 24 hours - he used SN9. May have to repitch tonight.
