A few friendos walked away from PAX West with some lovely parting gifts: bottles of the 2025 batch of caramel apple mead. From left to right: dry/oaked, semi-sweet/boubon-oaked, and semi-sweet. All approximately 15% ABV.

I hope y’all enjoyed them.

🍯 Our first batch of Cedar & Hive mead has officially started! Using Manuka honey from New Zealand and Mangrove Jack’s M05 yeast, we’re turning honey into liquid gold, one bubble at a time. Follow our journey from kitchen experiment to full meadery magic! #MeadMaking #CraftAlcoholUK #LeedsCraft

Finally bottled the Maple/Oak mead, has a bit of a burbon vibe. #Mead #Meadmaking #honey #maple

Interestingly, the medieval climate in Scandinavia didn’t support bees, so there isn’t a meadmaking tradition there… which is why all the Norse epics have the gods stealing mead from the giants - mead was either traded or stolen from Poland.

Oldest fermented beverage known! It’s hard to get older than Ethiopia’s uninterrupted 10,000 year meadmaking tradition :)

You should look up more modern methods of meadmaking because the state of the art has evolved massively in the last even 10 years and it’s a lot harder to have detonations these days :)

Found it, behind some meadmaking tannins, I don’t know why it was there. Past Alex is very mysterious.

If you are making plain mead, you can use these infusions to add amazing flavours - www.brewbitz.com/collections/...

surprisingly it's the second thing going into meadmaking that goes into my laundry. i use unscented oxiclean to wash my bottles. usually rinse and sanitize after just to be extra sure

T brewed 11 gallons in 2020 and we still have 2 gallons that I really want to try but we haven't racked them off yet to bottle them.

This will be my first brewing, but I plan meadmaking as a litha class, and we can do that whether it's on my land or not because we can do it anywhere

How confident do you feel in your art and technique? I would occasionally teach an 'intro to meadmaking' class that delves into the process soup-to-nuts (history, science, and practical), and would lean on my confidence in the materials to make up for my lack of confidence in front of people.

Some light reading before bed.

Yeah that should theoretically take care of it. Unfortunately that often renders meadmaking cost-prohibitive, at least for my income compared to what Alaskan beekeepers want for their honey.
