VERY SWEET Lemon Mead

The flash is making the colour look a lot lighter than it is. It's actually a nice orange colour. I was trying to focus on the sediment  ::)

I've been staring at the first pic first for a few minutes now. Not even a smirk. What am I missing?

just the the gazillion of honey!
I went back to check that it was indeed the first picture and it made me giggle again.
It makes me want to dip my hands into honey and lick it off! ;D

that looks realy nice but this will be a desert wine maybe bottle them in small wine bottles. I used 1800 gram honey in the meads i am brewing now and i think that is already sweet enough. And did not get a gravity reading on my meads, I will bottle them in small 0.5l wine bottles.
If you can make soup then you will also be able to make a decent beer!

Yeah, I'll bottle them in 500ml beer bottles. I might divide it into two demijohns yet? I'll see how it tastes in a few more months.

I'll swap you a bottle for one of your jalapeno juice??

lampie

that is a deal we will swap when they are done :). mine will also take some months to ferment :).

This is clearing nicely. There was a good bit of sediment in the demijohn so I racked it off again last night. There's a strong smell of alcohol off it at the moment but it tastes fine.
