It's 3 pounds of honey, a gallon of water, 25 raisins, 1 orange, a tablespoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, yeast energizer, and of course 71B-1122 yeast. I hope you like the picture, and any tips would be great. Thanks!

Here is a picture of Rob's mead production. Looks to me like he is having a lot of fun! My thanks to him for sending in the pic! Here is what he has to say about it: Here's a picture of my first batch of mead after the first racking and a new batch - 1/2 mead 1/2 cherry melomel. I get honey in 5lb bottles, so I have been making 10lbs to 3 gallons of water - fills four gallon jugs nicely. I'll let you know how it turns out, but looking good so far. Thanks for your help.

Here is a great example of improvising with your mead! Here is a pair of pics of Mike's mead. Mead has to be covered and protected from light as it is fermenting so... how about using a box! Great job, I love this kind of thing and my thanks to Mike for sending in the pics!!

 

 

Here are three batches of mead made by Bow. My thanks to him for sending in the pic! Here is what he has to say about these batches:

Using everything I could find on your great website I have started 3 different 1 gallon mead batches. Using 3 different honeys that I could find down here in Florida, 1 apple and cinnamon, 1 orange and raisin, and 1 with cinnamon and tea leaves. This picture just an hour after being made they already are showing signs of life. I wanted to thank you and everyone that contributes to stormthecastle. (He used the fast easy mead making method I have right here)
