Well, Duracell, we're in the process of drinking it. Made another batch of show meade from Mississippi Clover honey, bottled 6 gal, and am currently stacking the still on the other 6. Hard to get the stuff into the boiler in this household...Durace11 wrote:Damn Heartcut, I'd probably just drink that mead, forget stillin it.
I just bottled 10 gallons of a JAOM hydromel made with grapefruit, a cherry/plum sweet sack mel, & a traditional cactus honey mead. I also had a gallon of mead made from south american honey that went bad on me. It tastes like barf and smells like garbage so I'm thinking I might pot still it and see if it cleans up or not. If not it goes into the feints jug for the next neutral batch.
Honey shine?

Re: Honey shine?
I just started drinking my Plum/Cherry, Cactus & Grapefruit. Tried them all over the holiday and it seems they are well on their way to being super. Plum/Cherry is like a port without the ABV kick, Cactus is smooth and fine as a nice wine & the Grapefruit is a little dry but improving nicely with just a slight bite that a dry wine will give, quite nice cold.
Just bottled 12 gallons pyment made from Rose wine and Orange Blossom honey, smells like a candy factory and it's carbing up as we speak. Should be ready by summer for a bubbly treat. Oh the meads are so fine after a long wait.

Re: Honey shine?
The show meade is delicious distilled. 4pm is a little early, but I'm gonna sample again!
