So, I made a batch of JAO around 6 years ago, froze it to remove most of the water content, bottled it with some more honey and then left it. 6 years later, I have somthing that almost tastes like honey port. this is just a little bottle but I still have about 3 liters of it left. My next...

That is actually a really great idea! Thanks!

Hey guys, As requested I have an update. I decided before I jump head first into this experiment, I would conduct some research into what properties are known about melaleuca before I jump headfirst in and waste a batch of perfectly good beer... because of course, that would be a sin to waste...

Thanks everyone, Illlet you all know how it pans out!

So I have a big Melaleuca (paperbark) tree out front of my house at the moment... i swear all I can smell near it is malt. Im fairly certain most of you know where this is headed, but, has anyone tried using roasted Melaleuca flowers in their brew? I was thinking about dry hopping at the end...

Well, it has been 3 months since I bottled the 25 litre batch, and am impressed with how it has matured. My only regret is that I was (again) inpatient and probably bottled a bit too early. That being said as per discussion above, if I didnt it would have been completely ruined.

I will definately have a look at some of the sponsors as well, thanks guys.

Thanks mate, will be going here from now on I think.

Ok... I would like to start by pointing out that I am not normally one to complain, but I felt that I had to warn others out there. I have only been home brewing a short time ( i am on my 3rd batch now. I have been going to a local home brew shop called Mayfairs here in townsville, and have...

Its actually 79 pages, just to be clear....

So this is what the oranges ended up looking like...

Shit... im going to try to pull the fruit then, its only growing just on the fruit, not the liquid.

Guys... Have done up a 25l batch however I am very concerned at the moment... there is black mould forming on top of the oranges. Is this normal?

Im guessing as noone has responded in over a week that the answer to my question is no then... :/

Also 1 to 2 cloves per 5 litres... but no more. It will overpower the flavor too much.

Guys, also dont be afraid to spice your mead! You will be amazed how a few cinnamon sticks and some cloves add to the flavor! Also, when bottling, put a vanilla pod in a few of them and save for special occasions... they are the best IMHO.

Is anyone else having issues with the rasins overpowering the taste of everything else?

Just out of curiousity has anyone tried adding a clearing agent like gelatin? What results did you get?

Hey guys, my name is ash, I am up in townsville. I am a complete noob at brewing and I am already hooked! I currently have a batch of mangrove jacks golden lager and a batch of JAO mead brewing as well. Ive actually been a member of the forum for a few days, but have been busy reading a lot of...

Ok... So I live in far north QLD where average temps have been over 25°c... decided to give this ago anyway... This is my first attempt at brewing, and was advised to use this as a starting point. I am now in day 3, yesterday when I inspected the batch I noticed that the bubbling and frothing...
