So I've been brewing mead for a while, and had something MINDBLOWING happen to me the other day. I will be moving come the spring, so I haven't started any new brews since last JULY. I wanted to make sure everything had time to finish fermenting, batch age for a while, and degas so I could have everything in bottles and not have to move full carboys. (there has been some brewers withdrawal but I muscled through)
Anyway, as the move is getting closer and closer, it was time to bottle. I had, according to my calculations, roughly 45 gallons on the counter. It took me three days of hard bottling, but I was down to what should have been my last two 5 gallon carboys...and there was an extra 3 gallon carboy sitting there. Just magically there.
I assume I made it. There is a 99% likelihood it is mead of some sort. It is kind of purple and fruity, a bit young, but not bad.
Other than this I have NO IDEA WHAT IT IS OR WHEN I MADE IT.
Has anyone else every done this?
