Here is a peach cobbler made by Tony. Wow, it looks good! He had to improvise his airlock and it's very clever!
Here is his recipe:
The recipe I used for the Peach Cobbler Mead/Melomel is as follows for 1 gallon:
4 lbs. Honey
1/3 pkg Yeast (I used an ale yeast I got from the craft beer store in town)
7 Peaches diced and frozen overnight, then thawed so there will be more juice
1 Vanilla Bean cut into 1/4 inch pieces and steeped with the yeast in warm water
Zest of 1 Lime
1 Orange zested before I diced it up
1/2-2/3 Gallon of distilled water

Here is a batch of now bottled mead made by Ann and Theodore! I love the label. Here is what she says:
We bottled our first plain mead and I'm sending you a photo. It came out good, a slight dry sherry or amontillado taste.
Here is a batch of mead made by Rosemary. It is a melomel with Oranges. And to protect it from the light she made her own cover out of fabric as a slip-cover! Wow, this mead has a wonderful look to it! I am resisting the urge to call it a Rosemary mead because of her name but she didn't actually put any Rosemary in it!
