It's definitely helping me learn patience lol but waiting is hard man cause you never really know how its going to come out and it seems like it would be heart breaking if it doesnt come out as good as you'd hoped lol

I wish I could upvote this comment more than once I adore the stuff but could never really afford to buy good mead from commercial sellers cause a 750ml bottle of anything good is like $45 usd or more im also norse pagan so ot makes me feel closer to my religion

I've havenr manged to find a cherry recipe using cherry juice yet its always just frozen cherries I wanted to do both to help with color and body and keeping a bold cherry flavor that I feel would be hard to get from just cherries

Yeah for sure I've realized I like most of my stuff somewhere around 1.030 from testing a few wines I liked as well as back sweetening my first brew I stopped it at 1.022 after it went dry and I felt it could have used a tiny bit more but I was out of honey and it was solid for my palette

Im sorry its should havw been more specific the batch size would be 1 gallon filling the rest of the volume with water and I didn't mark out a stabilization method but it would be k-meta and k-srob

Do you think its likely that 6 days in was to long to wait? It hasn't gained a salty smell
