I just racked my four different meads last weekend! They still have a long way to go, but are coming along nicely!! The meads taste exactly as they should - dry but with some hint of sweetness (which I havent been able to place, must be some kind of unfermentable sugar in the honey) - but the metheglin and the cyser taste pretty awesome!! First time I've had either of them, and wow!!! The metheglin in particular tastes very festive!!

Meads are next up for me, never made tried one so I'll likely try something ridiculously simple. Also NEED to get myself a still and distill something fierce.

Yeah, simple meads are the way to go, at first!!! Just honey, water, and yeast! Maybe a campden tab, if you worry about that kind of thing.

I've been going with more and more abv - my first were around 12-13%, then 15%, and now 18%. Pure honey by itself can end up tasting flat and watery at the lower percentages, but the higher ones allow the full honey flavour to come through. It tastes quite a bit different than pure honey, though! I can't really describe it.

just moved to a semi rural area with a little bit of garden area. this fall putting in all sorts of fruit trees and will be learning the art of wine making. pretty exciting thread.

used to hang with some serious brewers but have not been around wine makers since i was a child and didn't really know what was going on.

Just finished my rice wine (SAKE) after 45 days. Doesn't have the warming feeling that I want.... Maybe I need more rice on day 21!

Have you looked into an electric distiller?
I have been able to get 95% ABV with mine :smile:

Finally done! Now it's on to storage... :smirk:

5 bottles of 18% mead
4 bottles of 15.5% mead
5 bottles of 13.5% metheglin
4 bottles of 15% cyser
