Thought I would post a picture of the Cranberry Mead I am making. I am making a 5 gallon batch. It had been in its primary fermenter since Nov. 30 and I transferred it to a 5 gallon secondary last week where it will sit and mellow out for the next four months at which point it will be bottled and aged in the bottles for about 6.5 months. Just in time for next Thanksgiving. As you can see it is a quite clear Rosé color right now. It has a very young and very tart taste which will mellow out as it ages. It is at a 13% alcohol by volume.
