There are two post on this item and you can check out the last one here<\/a>, which will lead you to the first one. With that out of the way. It was time to move over the two Melomels that I had made into bottles as I need the space 8). Took the gravity reading on both and they both ended up at 1.000 which was surprising and I guess that yeast was really good. With that both of these brews are a little over 13%. The Cranberry\/Blueberry Melomel was my favorite and had a nice smooth and easy drinking flavor even at the 13%. The Cherry Melomel had a bread flavor and also a little hazy. Interesting to see and wonder if I’m just picking up on the yeast in suspension still as the Cherry one was a little cloudy and the Cran\/Blueberry was really clear as you can see by the photos below. Not a bad experiment and can’t wait to see what everyone things of them next month. More to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
