Making Mead

Last year, I said I wanted to make Mead. The sisters jumped in with both feet cause those are the kind of cool women they are.

We did three batches, about 2 weeks apart. The first was blackberry with about 1 pound of honey. The second was almost exactly the same, but with 2 pounds of honey. Here's how they compare:

The second has a much deeper colour. I was initially underwhelmed by the first batch, but it tastes lovely after sitting for a year. It's a really light, easy drinking mead. The second tastes freaking amazing, much more of a punch to it, getting closer to a port wine.

The third batch was forgotten for a year and just recovered today. So with just the fruit being pulled out of it, here's what we got. This is peach and/or apricot. I can't remember how much honey I used for this one, but will guess a little over 2 pounds. I can't wait to try it.

I'll give it a couple weeks to settle, then will have a taste test of the three of them together.
