Excuse the lack of clarity, all of these are still in various stages of fermentation. All young but very promising!

One of my favorite things about making mead is there are no rules! We’re always trying new flavors! Can anyone guess what the one in the front is?

Did you know that we never add SULFITES to our brews?!? Sulfur dioxide is a common food additive, to which many people have a sensitivity. Wine sulfites are used by many home brewers to stabilize their ferments for bottling. We use a more natural method of refrigeration, filtering and aging to help stabilize our ferments before bottling!

Time to make some mead. Today’s batch is a 3 gallon must with 9lbs of honey separated into 3 1-gallon carboys each with a different yeast. We chose this method so we can evaluate the differences in flavor profiles of the different t yeasts.

Joel and I had so much fun getting to know Jay at Sabre Springs Wine and Mead in Escondido, CA! He gave us the tour and talked all things mead with us. He’s a long time brewer and it shows in his meads. Everything we tried was fantastic! Specifically the hopped sparkling mead on tap and the rhodomel, they were our favorites!

Tried Sky River’s Ginger Metheglin! Well balanced with a delightful ginger finish. Sky River is a woman-owned winery in Redmond, WA. Picked this up at Total Wine in Carmel Mountain Ranch in San Diego for $24!
