glass of mead

Jan 9

What a better way to end the day but with a glass of mead?  My cousin gave us some mead and wine from a winery out in Montana called Hidden Legend.  OMG!  this stuff is great, if you are only going to get one, I would get the King's Mead! I love that one the most

drink up

My new Pinterest board, drink up and in celebration of it I pored myself a glass of Mead.  Yum!  But I can't wait to try a few of the drinks I pinned!

racking mead

Racking the mead into another bottle,  about another month before putting it in small bottles....THAN it's drinkable about a month after that.  :-)

bubbling mead

Mead bubbling that's what happens after you add the yeast to make it into alcoholic, not pretty and doesn't smell so great, but in a few weeks we'll re-bottle it and it will look and smell better.

Mead

Now this is the way to drink mead!  Doesn't that look yummy?  And it was adding berries and a bit of apple cider makes it all the better!

....oh and we just started a new batch of mead that should be drinkable in a couple of months or so.

mead is bottled up

 The mead is bottled up and ready to drink.  We're now just waiting for the 17th of Dec and have our Mead party.  32 bottles ready to drink.  It's so smooth going down and taste so good....yes I had to sample it to make sure that it was good!

Mead part 2

Remember the last time I posted about the mead my husband was making?  Here it is a few months later looking good.  Lets hope come December it will be taste as good as it looks.

making mead

Bet you don't know what mead is!  I'll tell ya, it's honey wine.  They use to drink it all the time in the middle ages.  A few years ago in a land far away....okay maybe not that far away it was only in Virginia but it was a few years ago, my darling husband wanted to make some mead but he didn't really know how, so he bought a book and looked on the internet for recipes ~I guess it wasn't that long ago if we had internet, LOL~ and we made some mead.  Yummy, yum, yum!  But it will knock you on your ass at 15-17% alcohol if you're not careful.  Here it is just getting started it takes up to 30 days for all the yeast to eat the sugar and he/we'll take it out of this jug, put it in another (smaller) jug and then wait some more for it to ferment then bottle that up and wait for Dec to have a winter solstice party like any good middle ager!  Want to come?
