Mead Journal: The adventure begins...Again
When I have the primary fementation down for 3 batches. All made to the same receipie of goodness as my first batch. IE: Dessert sweet. Whew, I did 3 batches in one day! In doing so I have discovered that I want an imersion chiller. It takes forever to bring a 140 degree of 5+ gallons of must to under 80 degrees. I even chilled 1/2 the water to put in after the honey disolved. Ah, well. Also, it does keep me pretty busy getting things going and the need to pace myself. I have 2 more batches I want to put together that will be just my standard Rockbiter brew.
Plan for these 3:
1: Vanilla Almond: My first meglathin..W00t. Mad L33t Skilz go. Ok, Mead making is fun and intersting to me.
2: Pear Nutmeg: sort of 1/2 a meglathin and have a mel. Thinking on finding some organic fruit juict concentrate. Other option is to buy the pears, blenderize and de-pulp it. Using 1/2 a whole nutmeg crushed.
3. Pumpkin spice: Using pumpkin pie type pumpkins, they are smaller and more flavorful. About 10 pounds is what I want, thinking on getting 3, 3 pounders though. And then adding a stick or two of cinnamon, prob just one stick about 1 1/2 inch long and 1/2 a whole nutmeg, crushed.
