No reason to waste good honey, just use Costco stuff. Also, I would consider getting a few bochets under your belt before mixing some with meadowfoam honey. It sounds like what you are interested in doing is blending, and you will have much more control doing a bochet separate from a...

What you too good for Catan? Bochet looks good. I've heard bad things about bananas in mead but never tried so I can't judge. I did a slow cooker bochet as well in the past, I think my idea since then is to keep a close eye on it because it actually carmelized incredibly dark and so is going to...

10# of honey in a 5 gallon batch? That gravity is right. Try this next time: http://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/ Also worth reading the newbie guide at gotmead.com. Will answer all your questions.

Vanilla apricot mead.

Had my first BOMM taste this past weekend, not yet a month old. Used raspberry honey and came out awesome. Have a blackberry one that's going to get some oak. Impressive how it comes out-- I only had done two leads prior but each were pretty hollow until aged a good year or two. The hopped short...

Curious how this turned out, if you are still around. Thinking about doing a smoked pumpkin mead.

Great thanks. I'll probably give that a shot before I go adventuring. Thanks again!

Greetings! Thanks much for posting and maintaining this thread, as well as your other postings. I've had a chance to read through your website as well as gotmead and homebrewtalk threads and decided that my next round of meads are going to be a standard 1 gallon BOMM and some experimental...

Has anybody tried oaking a basic bochet? Any suggestions? I have six gallons heading to secondary on some vanilla and was thinking of adding some oak to it.. I have a couple medium American spirals..

Quick question from a beginner: I made a batch of this using 1118 and it's been popping for three weeks straight every second. I topped it up to the neck because the surface area on the apricots made me worried it would grow some aliens on it. I used dried apricots (wont have any here in...

1 gallon JAOM 1 gallon Vanilla Bochet 1 gallon Green Tea/Cranberry Mead 6 gallon Bochet 6 gallon Raspberry Mead 6 gallon Apricot/Vanilla Mead. 807 + 21 = 828

I like the idea of using a slow cooker. If it cooks slow enough that it won't explode then you could possibly get away with much less of a hassle. Okay so I tried a 1 gallon batch using a slow cooker for the honey. Way, way, way, way easier. I used a standard 4.5 Quart Crock Pot and slow cooked...

Yep I used this recipe with 4g nutes. I didn't add the zinc although I considered dropping a dollop of butt cream (for my 2 year old). I also read through the other Bochet posts on the site and read through the top ones I could google. Really not that much out there that seems to be formulaic...

Thanks. Sorry forgot to post that OG was 1.10. Guess I'll wait till the bubbles die down and check again in a few weeks?

Greetings everyone, my first post here. Had some fun brewing a pretty standard 5 gallon mead with a friend a few years ago but hadn't yet tried my hand at it. For some reason the idea of a burnt mead inspired me to pony up for my own brew supplies. I also went for the 6 gallon carboys (I mean...
