While Guy and Sharon were over we were able to bottle up the Sage honey mead and the Ginger/Sage honey mead. I know that Guy and Sharon didn't really like the slightly lingering aftertastes... but man am I in love!!! It tastes just like a cool, bubbly, coconut juice. It tastes fabulous and helps whenever we're slaughtering any of the animals.
And a short story:
Guy and I bottled the sage mead and in order to do that we ended up clearing up (aka: drinking) the contents of some of the half containers. One was nice and bubbly and fun and the other one was a definite date rape (Thanks J for giving it that name) drink. We ended up leaving the date rape drink because it was a little too intense and we could only sip w/o getting almost instantly drunk. It is very, very sweet, but also very, very alcoholic.
We still have one carboy full of really sweet mead (date rape) that I think I'm going to cut with apple juice to cut some of the sweetness and the alcohol level. =) We'll see how soon we can bottle it.
