Are you sure thats not the stain you used on that table?

 

[Waldo]

Does it look that bad wade???? And I was so proud of it !!!

 

[Wade E]

No Waldo it looks that good! I like a wine with color. Just seeing the color tells me that theres a lot of money spent on honey! Nothing wrong with your table either. I was just saying that cause it is similar in color buddy.

I tell ya what, Waldo, this looks like something I definitely have to try. It looks great! Do grocery stores carry candied ginger? I don't remember ever seeing it before.

 

[Waldo]

I knew ya was just a kidding wade
Yes, I got mine at Kroger Randy

 

[Wade E]

Waldo you almost made me PM ya with an "I'm sorry buddy". No wine can look bad but they can taste bad!

 

[Waldo]

Wade, you being a woodworker should recgnize "Honey Locust" when you see it.

Actually, I was thinking it had a wonderful deep rich color to it, very much like the honey it is made out of. I casts such a wonderful glow on the beautiful table. I would be proud to have either-or both of them Waldo.

Bottled my spiced mead last night. It was quite "yummy"

This batch is going to a good friend of mine at work.
The label is his family Coat of Arms and he requested that all I put on it was the type of mead.

Decided to go ahead and really dress them up for him so I added shrinks to the bottles.

Awesome looking wine and labels Bro!

 

[masta]

Yes...excellent job!

As usual that wine and labels looks great... The label reminds me of smurfe's avatar with his family's Coat of Arms... Great Idea for labels...any more members using their Coat of Arms on their labels????

Looks great waldo. How's the ginger flavor? Did it come through using the candied ginger? Did you use any clearing agents?

 

[Waldo]

Thanks all


I am thinking of maybe using our family crest on maybe a Port label.


Sang the Ginger flavor ended up excellent in my opinion. It was detectable but not overwhelming.

I finally bottled my sack mead that I put together February 14,
2006. It is amazing! Everyone that has tried it wants
more. I can't wait to start another...but it takes soooo long to
be drinkable. I tried to stick as closely as possible to a 600
year old Celtic receipe. I added 2 lemon halfs and tea but that
was about it. It is a real treat!

Sounds great Sally!
