First Mead

Well I decided to pull the mead out and have a look / taste as I racked off to another demi-john.

WOW! What a taste! Its a bit young from what I have been reading but it was nice, sweet, fragrant and nicely alcoholic.

It could be aged for another 3-12 months and I will likely do that but in bottle form.

You can see at the bottom all the sediment which is the yeast, dead yeast and other partials.

This is the bit we don't want to take with us when we transfer (rack off) to the next demi-john.

With a helpful hand from Kasey we were successful!

We took a glass from the bottom so it would contain some of the yeast and other things we don't want to transfer and tried it. Wow! Great stuff. Like I said before sweet, fragrant and smooth. Had a hint of our honey and some of the smell as well.
