Reality Check :: Mead
Good day all. In the last few days my wife and I decided to crack open a couple of bottles of our first two batches of mead. The very first batch, mostly our first experiment in mead making is well over two years old - that is bottled more than two years ago.
The second batch was a mead with berries. We call it our “Christmas Mead” because we generally make it before Christmas and then try it the following year.
All I can say about both batches is “WOW!!!!!!”
Patience, they say, is a virtue - but in this case, patience makes awesome mead.
The first batch was a beautiful honey-yellow, as it should have been, and was very sweet, unlike what it tasted like in the beginning.
The red mead was brilliant, ruby red, also sweet, clear and had a distinct honey and berry flavor.
All I can say is if you’ve never had a good mead you should try it. If you haven’t ever made it, try it. If you have made it, have patience and let it age!
That’s all for now.
