Approximately 2 months after starting my
first batch of mead, it was time to bottle it.

According to the recipe, the final gravity should have been around 1.030. My batch finished up at 1.054, giving my batch an ABV of 9.5%. This might sound weak, but the sweetness along with the orange and cinnamon flavors make it a very potent beverage.

What comes now after this batch? I still have at least 1 lb of honey left over, so I can easily get another batch of this stuff started. Alternatively, I can look up some other recipes and piece together one of my own (I still have some vanilla beans left over from when I made the
Vanilla Porter so that could be a fun experiment). I definitely want to try a different yeast strain for the next one. Until then, cheers!
