Mead Update

Posted by on
Here is an update on my mead making. I let the mead sit in the secondary fermenter for about 4 weeks and it clarified beautifully.



I had enough for 24 Grolsch bottles (see below) and six regular beer bottles. Of course there was a little left over that wasn't worth bottling but only good for tasting. Wow, it was delicious.
