Bottling the 12th Night Mead
Another batch is in the bottle!
For Kingdom Twelfth Night 2009 (which we obviously did not go to), Christopher, Angelique, Joscelyn and I got together and brewed a batch of mead. Christopher and I bottled it today.
Although I bought high-end Portuguese white corks, there was some tannin leaching. Not sure what this is all about, or what effect it will have on the hooch.
It's still mildly carbonated. Huh.
Final yield:
Six wine bottles for me.
Twelve wine bottles for Christopher and Angelique.
Five bottles for Joscelyn.
One half-bottle for evaluation at Hill Top winery.
One half-bottle for the Atlantian Brewers Guild.
One 500 ml flip-top to share at next week's brewing day at 3rd Sunday.
