OH HOH HO! WHAT'S THIS?!

Welp I finally did it. I've saved 1 bottle of every batch of mead I've made (even drank a few), but I've finally filled up my "Mead Cellar".

Redid our whole house's network tonight.

20 min job. Easy peezy.

*2 hours and 7 beers later*
Fuck you, fuck your mom, fuck Cat5, fuck ip addresses, fuck poor documentation.....ITS DONE

You ain't lived until a 5 gallon bucket of mead comes open in your back seat during the drive home from your Honey Guy.

My face:

As it turns out, Takis mead tastes like Takis.

You can even taste the corn chips.

#mead

Look guys. I do make actual, non-abomination meads.

This is a yeast taste tester of Red Star Premier Blanc with nothing but tannins added.

Still tastes very young at <1 month old. Very sharp. But I like it.

#mead

Takis flavored mead.

Why? Because it was requested.

On a completely unrelated note I'm naming my brand Icarus Mead.

#mead #takis

Finished up a special mead for a friends wedding/togethering.

The bochet is called "Tre-Bochet Straight Into My Soul". The second mead is just a mead called Basic Bitch which is just a basic mead.

They're going out to the ToC slosh tonight at Grapevine bar. If you're in the area you know what to do

What's better than miso caramel mead?

CARBONATED miso caramel mead. Almost had an oopsie today.

Cough medicine bottles are not designed for positive pressure.

If anyone wants to send Hazel ( Alice Riddle ) a Polaroid let me know? About to make a care package for them and if anyone wants in on that I have the cameras ready to go or can lend one out.

Wrapping up a commissioned mead for a friend.

- Cold brew coffee (Highland Grog Sprouts brand)
- Local honey for brewing
- Lalvin EC1118 yeast
- Maple syrup to back sweeten

Little known fact: if you boil Jelly Belly jelly beans (or any jelly bean I guess) to make a syrup, it will strip out all the wax. This leaves you with the Forbidden Boba: they look horrifying like insect larva and are very jiggly.

TWO HILLS I WILL DIE ONE:

13 MONTH CALENDAR WITH 28 DAYS. EVERY MONTH IS EQUAL AND ALL DATES ARE ON THE DAME DAY OF THE WEEK.

UNIFIED WORLD TIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE WAKING UP AT 4 AM. WHO CARES WHAT TIME IT IS??

Next installation of mead. It's a mixed berry traditional.

Calling it: Berrly Drinkable because people keep asking me things like "Is it good?"

#mead

Fuck yeah!

But let them know tractors pulls work better when you all go the same direction :/

The miso caramel mead, The Last Hammered-Rai, is up for grabs. If you want a bottle there are 6 of these small bois up for grabs.

Collector Edition Dayquils go to whoever claims them or whoever is slowest in claiming one.

I've got an entire extra wine bottle stocked away to let age.

#mead

I'm a little unsure how "garlic" got in my "let's make this flavor mead" list of ideas but since it's on there I kind of have to.

#mead

It might be the cough syrup talking, but...will it mead?

#mead

The Last Hammered-rai (my miso caramel mead) will be bottled in one of two forms: soju or Collector's Edition.

#mead

Sometimes the hubris of man is too much.

But sometimes, oh sometimes, it's just enough.

New mead just started: Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly mead.

Called Pop N' Pour.

I mean it could be used for testing flavors just to see if they're something worthwhile for sure.

How DARE

A question on frugality:

Do I keep an old Stubbs BBQ sauce bottle and do like micro-meads (.25 gallons) if only because I have some No8 bungs that don't fit and will never fit any regular mead brewing containers?

The cold brew coffee mead is bubbling and coming along. Now we wait.

#mead

Sometimes a cup just isn't enough and you have to make coffee by the *bucket*.

This is going to turn into a cold brew coffee mead. A friend commissioned me to make another 2 gallons O_O
