As posted in a related thread (), I got to realizing that I had a lot of ingredients laying around that I should be using up, if for no other reason than to get them out of the way. I wonder what everybody else has laying around, just begging to be used to make something tasty...? I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours:
So, what's in your pantry?

1100 lbs. of the best Colorado Mt. honey my bees have ever given me. And some other stuff that turns it into mead. ;D

No, 1100. But that number will go down to by 30 lbs. today. I'm making two more batches.
Have a good day, Dennis

Surfrider,
Have you decided what to do with your treasure? I looked at your list again (having intially been overwhelmed by all that good stuff) and it looks to me like you could get at least a oaked cherry-berry melomel, oaked peach melomel, a blackberry honey show mead, and a spiced cranberry cyser out of it. Not very imaginative, and I wouldn't know what to do with the malt and hops, but that's what I would make.
The dried fruit, if I wanted to just clear it out of the cupboard, I'd combine with rice for a rice & raisin wine variation. Actually I'm going to be doing just that later on today: have too much rice and dried fruit in the house.
I have 4 gallons apple juice, 100 grams rosehips, and about a pound of frozen peaches to use up as well: think I'll get out the organic wildflower honey and combine them all into one of those "spring-cleaning" melomels. Those improvised ones have turned out well for me.
