Re: Mead-Brewing Questions
"1 tbsp. of ground nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla extract"
Were these measurements backwards, or is this just one of those recipes that's completely afraid of vanilla extract and uses it like it was hot sauce? I use something in the area of 2 tablespoons worth of it in pancake batter, and that's not getting diluted out into a full gallon of water..

Re: Mead-Brewing Questions
Results are in! The brew is surprisingly strong. A little too much, in fact. Next time, I'll brew for only 2 or 3 weeks. After sweetening, the flavor is decent. I used too much pepper, though, it crowds out the other spices. Also, even after chilling and passing it though some cloth, it remains doggedly cloudy. There are some pretty delicious flavors, though, and I bet the very last drop will taste best.
6-7/10, I'll have another go when the bottle's empty again.Sometimes, I have strong opinions on seemingly inconsequential matters.
