  1. The blackberry melomel (mead) is bottled! About 22.6 liters or so total. ;)

    Sipping on a glass of dregs from the fill hose and it even tastes great. Alcohol presence that will mellow, fruity from the berries and floral from the honey. I'm very happy with the results.

    12 bombers with crown caps for long term aging (maybe;), 12 liters, 4 pints.

    50 days start to finish.

  2. Racked the blackberry melomel (mead) again.

    it's been done fermenting for a week or more, been letting clear up a little. FG around 1.002. Degassed and potassium sorbate added. I'll back sweeten it with 2 lbs (900g) honey tomorrow plus chitosan and let it clear up. The honey is July 2024 vintage that did not crystalize.

    It tastes good, very floral.
