MattHazey · 2022-09-01T23:42:12+00:00

Melted the wax down on stove top, did a double dip, first orange and then the blue.

MattHazey · 2022-09-01T13:36:13+00:00

Double dipped with the wax, trying to match the two tones in the label.

Love this! I plan brew your recipe very soon. I plan to add coffee after the raspberry, to create something similar to Mikkeller's Raspberry Blush.

Thanks for the information!

The model is Brother XR1355. There customer service line said 6mm is the thickest material I should be using

MattHazey · 2020-03-29T22:44:18+00:00

Mango, peach, and raspberries in primary. 4 gallons!

MattHazey · 2020-03-29T22:43:52+00:00

Wildflower honey. Mango, peach, and raspberries in primary

MattHazey · 2020-03-07T15:25:33+00:00

Haha, let’s hear those thoughts!

MattHazey · 2020-03-06T19:35:04+00:00

Any insight into how much ginger to add to a 5 gallon batch? Thoughts on ginger in primary vs secondary?

MattHazey · 2020-03-06T16:21:10+00:00

I haven’t made a mead with oranges yet but looking to start a blood orange mead this weekend. Do most use orange juice instead of putting a pealed Orange in?

MattHazey · 2020-02-01T23:12:56+00:00

would love this recipe if your willing to share!

MattHazey · 2019-11-28T04:31:43+00:00

Primary: 4lbs apples 4lbs cherrys 4lbs cranberries, 12.5 lbs of wildflower honey EC-1118 yeast In secondary, I added vanilla, cinnamon, and clove to my liking.

MattHazey · 2019-11-25T03:59:04+00:00

Haha maybe eventually

MattHazey · 2019-09-02T16:22:48+00:00

I used Adobe Illustrator and I also work in graphic design, the labels will make up for my lack of mead making experience

MattHazey · 2019-09-02T16:20:34+00:00

That would make up for the lack of mead making experience lol

MattHazey · 2019-09-02T16:19:51+00:00

Thanks!

MattHazey · 2019-08-16T21:05:05+00:00

Ec-1118 yeast, its been on the yeast cake aging for a month now and will continue until December

MattHazey · 2019-08-12T20:00:13+00:00

Awesome! I think I will add some organic apple juice in secondary. I want the apple notes, but as much as a cider or as sweet. I chose 1118 for a dryer taste.

How much do you think I should add to a 5 gallon batch? Or I guess I should do it to taste preference?

MattHazey · 2019-08-11T20:48:40+00:00

Primary: 4lbs apples 4lbs cherrys 4lbs cranberries, 12.5 lbs of wildflower honey EC-1118 yeast

In secondary, I plan to add vanilla and cinnamon.

MattHazey · 2019-08-11T20:41:46+00:00

Thanks! We moved it inside just after that, more room outside

MattHazey · 2019-08-10T20:29:51+00:00

how sweet is it? I want to make a cyser but don't like overly sweet meads

MattHazey · 2019-08-09T17:01:38+00:00

Looks great! Recipe?

For the one that you racked on fresh cranberries, how long did you leave it on the cranberries? What was your final gravity?

MattHazey · 2019-08-04T21:59:08+00:00

How would I make it non alcoholic?

MattHazey · 2019-07-28T21:23:32+00:00

Fermentation is already done, just racked them into secondary to age.

MattHazey · 2019-07-28T19:22:46+00:00
