This is actually my first wine, too. Not sure without checking notes, but I think it was started 6 months ago or so. It's Orange Blossom honey. Allie had suggested that bulk aging would improve it, and I had planned to follow her advice, but I need the space in the carboys.
I sanitized the bottles, racked and stabilized the mead, and backsweetened a tad. 750 grams of honey for 5 gallons to be exact. Right now it doesn't taste very good. It was pretty good when it was just done fermenting, though. It tasted sweet despite being completely dry back then, so I didn't think it needed much honey. We'll see how it turns out.
Next on the list is 3 gallons of elderberry. Or maybe 5 gallons of blueberry. Decisions, decisions.
