Hi all, ive been making way more mead than wine this year, so far my favourite is my honey/maple syrup mixture, 2/1 ratio seems to work well.

I've started a blueberry melomel today, 3L blueberryjuice with two jars of set honey plus sugar, citric, pectolase, tannin, youngs yeast and nutrient.

I've also got a spare packet of apricot add back from a failed wine kit, so I'm going to make a mead with just honey, and add that at the end to see how it tastes.

What's everyone favourite mead variations?

Apricot mead is very nice i use dried apricots and make it sweet, cross my loof mead yeast does a quick clean job, :thumb:
 
What kind of honey are you using?

My first mead should be ready to drink now, hopefully it's decent. Got a couple of melomels still aging.
 
By this point I've tried about every brand you can buy off the shelf, as well as a few local ones. Surprisingly Tescos own brand honeys (not the value ones) ferment well and taste pretty good in the end. I prefer the locally made raw honey I can get here (not processed at all), it costs more than triple the price but it's worth it.
