orange mead

[Wade E]

Spidy, I did my blueberry with the same 18-18 and have bottled it a few months ago and it is already awesome with lots of body and flavor. 1/2 of the blueberries were frozen store bought and the other 1/2 were fresh from a farm.

al right I have had my mead covered for 5 weeks without peeking. I uncovered today out of curiosity and wow that is beautiful stuff. The fruit is still floating but the mead is very clear. I might try to rack this weekend, but what can I top off with?

Mead does not really have to be topped up as much as wine does as honey in itself is basically anti-microbial and therefore never really goes bad. It will crystalize over time but warmed up it will return to its liquid state.

 

[dcrnbrd]

how about topping up with some vodka? Just to offset the sweetness of the honey.

You absolutely can if you want.
