Notes

Bees aren’t the only one’s who Mead Honey.

Brewed on or around 10th of December, 2022.

Left in fermenter until 15/08/2024.
Cold crashed to 1 degree Celsius.
Back sweetened entire 42L with 500g of honey.
Bottled 12L.
Bottled Mead tastes really dry. The mead is super clear, and the colour of watered down Corona.
Could be confused with a dry white wine, even after back sweetening is taken into consideration.
Remaining 30L kept at 1 degree Celsius.
