So my JAOM is fermenting nicely now. I'm looking to start making my second batch of mead in the next few days. I'm thinking maybe a simple cherry melomel or some simple spiced mead recipe.
Now the thing is I'm brewing these two batches for a music festival in June, we all make it a tradition to bring something homebrewed every year to share around at the campsite.
So this gives me just about 6 months for this batch. I know the JAOM will be fine for then but i was wondering if my other mead will be ok to drink by that time in June. I know it will have finished fermenting by then and will have a small window of time to sit in bottles and age, but will this be enough for a half decent mead in june? Taste is obviously an issue but when its paired with homebrew gin i don' think we'll mind too much since we just want it so we can get smashed
But will everything be ok by june?
