Lambic mead is a go!

Finally got all the stuff I needed for my lambic mead experiment.  1.5lbs or raspberry honey.  Maltodextrin, oak and some wyeast Belgian lambic yeast.  Very exited about this one.  Now to get started on my Christmas spiced mead.....

Everything ready to go

Waiting begins

My 5 gallon traditional is under the coat in the background and is coming along nicely.

What happens when I get board on vacation.

With 2 weeks of vacation to use or loose I spent the week of Christmas through new years at home.  With an over abundance of free time on my hands I decided to give mead making a try.  Time will tell how it turns out but I have high hopes for this.  To bad mead is about a year process from start to ready to drink cuz I am very exited to try it.

12lbs of orange blossom honey

Mixin her up

Yeast: Check

Primary begins.

Next day bubbling away.

If all goes according to plan I might have to experiment a bit with this.  Have ideas for future batches in the works.
