Just got done making up a batch of Ancient Orange. It was bubbling within fifteen minutes. I stuck to ancient records on it so hopefully it will turn out good.

Since we're in the posting AO pictures mood, just thought I'd toss a snapshot of mine that will be bottled tonight. Just grabbed a quick pic before I go to get the bottled ready. :D I hope some of it makes it to the bottles, heh!

AO was my first mead. I am doing my second tomorrow with hopes that we will bottle it for "treats" at our wedding reception next August.

Hey HH! Good to see another familiar name! I'm going to do the AO this weekend I think. I've got 36# of honey on the way from CA. 12# of Blackberry and 24# of Raspberry for 3-5 gallon batches of Mead that we're going to bottle in the Cobalt Blue bottles as favors for our Wedding next November. (Cheers to you HH on that as well!)

Glad you were on the BN there Oskaar! Glad I found out about this forum from your appearance there!

Cheers,
Greg
