Another new Beek here with two hives over in Quincy..... Welcome to the forum! :applause:

Tapped some of the Apple Pie Cyser to take to the Mothers Day celebration at my In Laws...... Everyone agreed that it was really, really good.....;- )

Very cool design....:thumbsup:

So sorry for his loss..... So senseless that someone would do this....

Welcome! I'm in Quincy and will be getting my first packages this weekend....:)

Sounds like it would taste awesome!

If GMO is safe then one as to ask themselves why would they bother to do this?

Welcome from another new beek.....:)

I think a lot of us have been there..... I made wine and beer before I started making mead and never had a problem..... My first batch of mead had a very similar result even after I thought I had...

I do a lot of Melomels (though not a peach yet) and many do not show decent aroma or taste until 6+ months (often a year) have passed.... At this point I would consider racking and stabilizing and...

Welcome!

Thanks! Will have to see if I can find a Caputo Market near Quincy..... This is what I ended up using:

Italian-Volcano-Blood-Orange-Bottles

Good stuff but shipping was a killer!

Where did you get your blood orange? For my mead I had to order juice from Sicily since I couldn't find it locally.... Had to use Cara Cara for the pulp and zest....

Resident Evil! LOL!

Those all sound awesome! :applause:

Not necessarily in order....:)

Show Mead
Light Lemon Melomel
Strawberry Pizzaz Melomel
Blood Orange Melomel
Raspberry Melomel
Joes Ancient Orange Melomel
Apfelwine
Hard Apple (Jacked)

My typical target as well.... Most of the yeasts I favor are in the 14% range so it goes dry.... If I want a sweet or semi sweet mead I stabilize and backsweeten to taste....

On topic I usually...

Crap, you are right.....:doh: I subtracted 1.008 instead of 1.080...... WVMJ has it right.....:applause:

Sounds like it's coming along fine..... The sulphur smell would indicate either stressed yeast or a breakdown of the lees.... 71B is more susceptible to this than many other yeasts..... An OG of...

Sounds good..... How does it smell? Any sign of sulfur?

Thanks everyone! :)

Got some hands on experience putting supers and frames together at last nights bee school..... Lots of fun and great group of folks!

Thanks! Awesome stuff!

We joined the Norfolk County Beekeepers Association and they have been great! They are currently running a bee school (which we are attending) that will run through April...

True, not much they can do now..... This batch "is what it is"....



As quoted above, was focused on if they were planning on making more mead in the future.....

I would agree with this.... Hydrometer is the only way to know for sure.... If you don't have one and plan on making more mead I think you will find it well worth the investment..... Also very...

Papazian is awesome if you are looking for a good reference book for all things beer...... For a broader scope book (beer, wine, mead, etc) I like the Alaskan Bootleggers Bible.......

Taking my third class of Bee School tonight with the Norfolk County Beekeepers Association..... My kids and I have 2 hives ready to assemble and bees on order for the spring.... Class is incredible...
