What would be interesting flavors to add to blueberry mead besides lemon?

You can estimate your OG if you want to do the math. A pound of honey will raise the gravity of water by approximately 0.035. You need a rough estimate of how much water you actually used.

I use 131.25.

my first attempt.

Here you go.

Splash rack a few times.

It's finally finished and bottles. Came in at 16%. Mild, not overpowering flavor. Thanks again for all the help.

What was your OG? I'd like to try a mead. Sounds interesting, and they're just about ready!!!!!

Thanks to all who took the time to reply. It was an ill-fitting lid on the fermenting bucket. I changed it out and there was almost instant CO2.

It's no emergency. Just wondering how long it takes to start. I pitched it dry.

Is there anyone out there with experience with Lalvin QA23 yeast?

I don't know why you couldn't use oils if you could control the strength. Citrus zest is mainly oil, but not as concentrated. I have used lemon and orange oils when back sweetening, with success. I don't think the root beer would be a good one to start with though.

I haven't started it yet. I have the ingredients, waiting on a stockpot. I didn't want to steep in batches. I'm making what will be 6+ gallons. I'll let you know!!

A 'B' or 'C' grade syrup would make great Maple wine or Acerglyn, a maple mead.

Thanks! I'll let you know how it turned out!

Two more clarifications, if you don't mind. First, light or dark brown sugar? And second, how long were the cinnamon sticks to start? I have 4" and 8" sticks. thanks Dennis

Thank you!

Was the Ginger root fresh or dried?
