Crafted May 4th, Racked June 3rd, Filtered & Bottled July 31st
Our first batch of ‘Fermented Drinkage’! We chose to make Mead, fermented with mint. I found some gorgeous fresh mint, put it in the fridge and… oh my gosh… it limped out on us!
And, thus a name was born!! 😃
We grabbed some local honey…
We mixed up the Must (using a recipe we found online), parked it in the basement, and took the first Specific Gravity reading…
Fermenting away…
Racked for aging and clearing… with “Skinny” guarding it! 😂
Filtered nectar!
Ready for bottling…
Clear, beautiful Mead!
30 x 750 ml bottles!
And, there’s even some left in mid-September!!
And the final result???? Absolutely fabulous!! About 12.8% ABV, wonderful mead taste; Brian loves it straight, on the rocks; I love it as a Meadjito — more mint, lime juice and soda water added in!!
