my latest imperial stout, which was made on the dregs of my mocha stout and thus has some coffee and chocolate in it, plus a little bit of a brett infection (not intentional, but not a bad thing) is siphoning into the bottling bucket right now.  I'll be starting my mead tomorrow or soon therafter,  I think I am going to go with a berry mead rather than a licorice one, after getting input from all my friends.

Cloved orange mead is bottled.  It certainly does not suck as it is, and a little time to settle in the bottles may make it awesome.  Keeping that recipe.

Dudes, I've decided because of the variable temps and humidity, that I'm going to do this project of mine in my bro's wine fridge.

Thoughts?  (mead, poss. cider with orange infusion and also heff or other ale)

We had done a gallon of something called "Joe's Ancient Mead" with raisins, orange, cinnamon and junk and just moved it into the secondary last night.
Smells like friggin gasoline.
It should be better after some bottle aging.

Huh.  Went back to the beginning of this thread to poke around, and found this.  Googled "Joe's Ancient Mead."  Got the recipe I just used for the cloved orange mead, darn near exactly.

I replaced the yeast (it says use dried bread yeast, :vom:, I used the liquid English Cider yeast instead), and followed pretty exactly.  Came out of the carboy tasting pretty good, without even letting it settle in the bottles.

If you are gonna do an ale make sure the wine fridge isn't set too cold.  most Ale yeasts are best around 60 degrees, too cold and they don't give much flavor to the beer.

Lagers like cold,  down in the low 40's is good.  A wine storage fridge should easily do mid to high 50's which is great for a mead, or a cider, or a fairly light ale.

Erm...  Well, I had this vodka, you see...  And no fruit, once I had the blueberries in...

There was this big bag of those candy spearmint leaves...

So I did science to them.

It already smells pretty awesome.  If the time runs like the swedish fish (another science experiment...  Hey, they're fruit flavored, and I was out of fruit), should only be a couple weeks, I should have it in time for Pennsic.
