Mead Secondary and Bottling

1/4/09 Purchased and Juiced 12 pounds of fresh blood oranges, which yielded 1/2 gallon of juice. Transferred Mead to secondary fermenter and added juice. Fermentation continues and fruit pulp settles out. I think next time I'll pour orange juice thru screen to remove most pulp before adding to secondary. No gravity reading was taken.

1/18/09 Washed and sanitize bottles. Bottled Mead added 1 sugar tab for priming and stored at 65 degrees. Final Gravity is 1.000 all fermentation is complete. Final alcohol by weight 12%, Alcohol by volume 14%























This Mead is
GOOD, CHEERS!!
