Last night we racked the first batches of mead. Samples were taken and wow. For having fermented for about 2.5 months and this being my first and second attempts, it was really good.
The Alcohol content is around 16-18% and clarity is decent.
In fact it was going so well we ended up bottling some of one of them and will be serving it at the party next weekend. It got a touch of sugar added to it to try to make it sparkle, so we'll see how that goes.
Also I finally cleaned up the mess that the home made soda became. It was actually kind of scarry because when I opened up the box, the bottom was all full of liquid. I figure no big deal one of the bottles burst, but wholy jeaze when I say burst I mean burst. The 2l coke bottle was split up the side as if it has really exploded. There was a second bottle which looked like it was ready to go as well. It had nearly doubled in size and was just a big oval shape. We ended up throwing the bottles off the porch to try to make them explode to no avail. It was quite exciting though.
