3/22/2012 1:36 PM over 12 years ago	+0	Sample		2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Used ½ gallon of mead from the typelo dregs and pitched wheat/hops/water on top of that in a gallon fermentor. Will give it a few weeks to even out and blend before tasting.
3/30/2012 3:49 PM over 12 years ago	+8	Tasting Note		2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	cascade flavor is well balanced. Taste watery, but not in a bad way. What I would expect from a hydromel. Clean hop floral essance. Spice notes. Doing this again...hydromels. Add honey at serving to taste. Don't worry about the wheat beforehand. Add honey to balance at serving.
3/31/2012 2:14 AM over 12 years ago	+9	Packaged	1 Gallon	2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	8 bottles. Need to condition for two weeks.

Notes

Honey is tulip poplar or buckweat depending on how much profile from the honey you want. Added w/o boiling.
