My Before Maple Season Project...Acerglyn Mead!

[DonMcJr]

I'm gonna try my hands at making Mead (honeywine) since I have honey after starting my beehives this past year...and I'm gonna make Acerglyn which is Maple Syrup and Honey Mead.

Both products from my property mixed to make wine!

This test batch though I'm gonna need to buy 1 gallon plus 32 ozs of Maple Syrup from someone here...

Anyone have that much to spare to sell me? Gimme a good price and I'll send you a bottle of the mead if you're over 21 years old. Pm me if ya can help me there...

Or I can just make plain Mead and then another batch later in the year with my own Maple Syrup...

Hi DonMcJr, we here at the farm are also thinking of making mead. But with the shortage last year we are now looking at this year. What is the recipe you are going to use? Keith

I wanna try to make mead too. I harvested about 200 lbs of honey off 3 hives this year sold all but 80 lbs I am saving for maple weekend (had 40 lbs last year for maple weekend and sold out quickly)

From what I hear (my neighbor down the street) she said they tried making mead and everytime it comes out tasting like crap.

She said you have to cut it with some type of fruit, spice etc. to get decient flavor. and I belive she might correct. around here we have a local meadery....moonlight mead. I have never seen straight mead by this company, but they have lots of fruit flavors. even when you get straight mead ffrom the bottle store it comes with a seasoning packet and recommend it warm. which I have done with that particular company sorry don't know which one it is. but its very good with there recommended seasoning packet.

Check this out and read it all...some great info and they have recipes too. If it's crappy you can add more honey to get it sweeter...
