Mead Day

I bottled my mead today.

Mead bottles

If you can read the labels you can see it’s an orange and spice mead.  It’s a bit spicy for my taste, I’d use a little less spice (cinnamon and cloves) next time.  But it’ll make a nice spiced wine for the holidays.   It made 4 bottles, one is in the refrigerator to see how it tastes chilled.

It also packs a wallop.  I didn’t check the Brix before I fermented it, but from the taste I’d suspect I’m at 15%+ alcohol.

    I’m so jealous! I love the name too.
