Racked my mango mead today. Made with Mango Blossom and Melochia Blossom honey from Shawn Darryl Harris, and infused with mangos from Northwest Wild Foods. ABV 16%, FG around 1.017. Balanced with lactic acid, chestnut tannin, and orange blossom honey. Probably one of my best batches so far.1yr ⋅ HoratioIRL ⋅ r/mead

Celebrating a new milestone in my career: it was time to open and taste my “Maillard” bochet. It is beyond my expectations: it tastes like plums, raisins, figs, caramel, oak and a bit of vanilla and bourbon. Highly recommend!1yr ⋅ timscream1 ⋅ r/mead
Hello r/mead! A friend of mine who made homebrew mead passed away unexpectedly and we found this in his refrigerator. Can you folks help me to understand what other than refrigeration I need to do with this based on the label, and if I can keep it preserved until April?4mo ⋅ mrsc0tty ⋅ r/mead
