matrix4bOk finally bottled the Blueberry lemon mead. Wow is this one going to taste good. The Lemon wasn't much there but it did give the blueberry a "Bright" taste and I think brings out the blueberry more.
I ended up with 2 cases and 14 bottles. My bigest batch so far. So wow. Didn't expect that. It turned out a nice purple color that is deep, deep purple. So, yeah, it is going to be a winner. I think that I am getting better.
Over the weekend I opened up a bottle from another mead maker and it was very wine like, lots of tannins and good but rather disapointing as far as a mead is conserned. I like mine better. My friends also said that mine was better by far.
Cleaned my gear and I am all ready for making 2 primaries with the Orange Blossum honey: One will be a strawberry, the other a Mango. Yes, Mango mead. Sounds lovely to me. I just didn't have the energy after cleaning the house and bottling the blueberry lemon to make the batches. Sigh, I am afraid that it will need to wait about 2 weeks.
Things that didn't get done:
two primaries
Removing the oak on the rockbitters
Racking the Rockbitters
Racking off the pumpkin hazelnut.
Still not time to sparkloid the chocolates.
That is all for now.
