Notes: Note that Brewer's Friend does not allow you to specify a custom attenuation per fermentable: The expected FG is actually 1.017 as the honey will ferment out completely.

Notes: OG 1.151
3.9 gallons cider (75%)
1.29 gallons honey (25%)

3 packages Lavlin 71B yeast - White wine yeast. Ferment at 62. Allow up to a 4 degree gain in temp during primary fermentation. Don't go too hot or you'll get fusel alcohols.

I'm using wildflower honey because it's what I have available. Hopefully the spices and apples will cover the muddled honey. I tasted the honey before buying. I liked the honey, but I can’t recall tasting a honey I didn’t like.

Process:

Warm honey to lukewarm temp so it's easier to pour. Add 1.5 gallons of must to carboy. Use 2 gallons of must to dissolve honey. Pour mixture into carboy. Rinse containers with remaining 0.5 gallon of must. Add 6 crushed campden tablets to must. Wait 24-48 hours to aerate must and pitch yeast. After a few hours, check gravity. It takes a few hours for fruit gravity to stabilize.

Pitching process:
It is important to follow these steps in order. Mix together 1/2 cup warm water with GoFerm addition at 104 F (lukewarm). Slowly mix in yeast. Then slowly add must to mixture until temp is within 10 F of must. Aerate must with pure O2. Use a slightly longer aeration duration due to the higher gravity and lower solubility of O2 into the must. Pitch GoFerm/yeast/must/water mixture. Pitch pectic enzyme. Aerate again at 12 hours with pure o2

Yeast nutrient process: Stagger yeast nutrients every 24 hours for the first 3 days and at day 7. Use 4 grams nutrient for each addition. May want to rehydrate nutrients before adding to the must. Otherwise it will create a nucleation point and the co2 could cause foam to spill.

PH: monitor the pH daily and add a tsp. of potassium bicarbonate (more if needed) if the pH drops below 3.5.

De-gas process: degas twice a day during primary fermentation (4 - 5 days). Use a wine whip or something similar.

Secondary process: Rack to secondary at 3 weeks. Monitor gravity periodically. When gravity has reached terminal, add spices(See "Spice process".) Wait until desired flavor has been achieved then rack again. Add super kleer, wait for mead to clear up then add potassium metabisulfite for it's antioxidant properties.

Spice process: Add spices after racking to secondary. High quality cinnamon and vanilla is super important. Michael Fairbrother recommends Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans and Vietnamese (saigon) cinnamon. This is real cinnamon. Michael doesn't give amounts so I'm starting light. Start with 1 bean and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, add more to taste.

Resources Used:
Moonlight Meadery episode on the Beersmith podcast as inspiration for this mead. Michael covers the honey/cider ratio along with Kurt's Apple pie ingredients and the processes he uses to create mead. http://beersmith.com/blog/2012/07/26/moonlight-meadery-with-michael-fairbrother-beersmith-podcast-43/

Used Brad Smith's article on Melomels in BYO magazine for staggered nutrient addition and de-gas schedule. Must be a member to view the article. Highly recommend becoming a member. https://byo.com/article/melomels-brewing-big-fruit-mead/

Notes: I should call this "Blown Gasket Oatmeal Stout." The airlock blew off while I was away for a week, and I returned to see a carboy, crusted with dried krausen. Regardless, it actually turned out well.

The final volume is low because I lost a good amount of water due to the seeping of 2.5 lbs of grain and oats. I didn't top off, preferring a stronger brew with fewer bottles. I plan to top off next time though.

I lost about half a gallon of the batch due to the blown fermentation, but it turned out pretty well! Excellent head retention and dark amber appearance. It didn't have quite as much chocolate or roasted flavor as expected. There is a significant nutty/toasted aftertaste that adds character. I plan to cut the crystal 60L from 8 to 5 oz or so, and add a source of chocolate and maybe lactose. I also plan to use a yeast with better attenuation. I was surprisingly pleased with this one, especially as it aged! Regardless, there is room for improvement.

Notes: (1) Start preparing hot water ... immerse liquid malt packs in some hot water for 20-30 minutes so they will flow and dissolve easily.

(2) Steep specialty grains in several liters of very hot water, then strain liquid into boil kettle, and rinse grains with a couple more liters of hot water.

(3) Add more hot water to kettle to about 14 liters. Keep applying heat until liquid is about 70 degrees. Then add contents of liquid malt pouches, rinsing them to dissolve all malt inside.

(4) Top up boil kettle to 20 liters total and bring to boil.

(5) As soon as boil commences, add 60 minute hops and then start timing.

(6) Add later hop additions and yeast nutrient and Whirlfloc at appropriate times.

(7) Chill and transfer to fermenter. Sparge hops. Top up fermenter to 21 liters. (a tad over 5.5 gal)

(8) Don't be too concerned about the temperature. Just get it to 25-30 degrees. Then into the fermenter. Then place fermenter in temperature cabinet set at say 16 degrees. leave for 24 hours and then pitch yeast and re-set tem controller to 19 degrees.
