Bottling batches #17 and #19
WILDFLOWER MEAD
I'm still not too wild about the wildflower mead, but it's been in the carboy for fifteen months and is done done done. I didn't even take a hydrometer reading before bottling. Meh. Lazy brewer is lazy.

5 magnums for parties
5 1L flip-tops for drinking
4 half-bottles for future sampling
1 half-bottle for Kim to sample
1 500ml flip-top for Mom to sample
1 500ml flip-top for drinking at 3rd Sunday tomorrow

1 half-bottle for Kim to sample
