We start this new year with a new fur baby: Bailey Piddles:
She is a golden doodle….I have no idea what that means. We got her from some stranger in the parking lot of a Home Goods….
The wife wanted to stop and look….and 30 seconds later we have a new baby! She is full of energy, tootsie rolls and puddles!
Welcome to the family!
I have taken on the mantle of making mead, honey wine.
I have always been fascinated with the idea of brewing your own booze, but the idea of setting up a whole elaborate set just was not what I was into.
So last Christmas the wife got me this mead kit and I was off to the races. I made my first and second batch with the kit and the ingredients they supplied. The third one I used an old Viking recipe that used only the ingredients one could have found back then, and the last one I made I followed a blueberry mead recipe I found on YouTube. I will not be doing the blueberry mead again….that was way too sweet for my taste!
And now I am trying another recipe I found on the YouTube….Apple Spice Mead.
Simple ingredients:
Apples, honey, apple juice, cinnamon sticks and some cloves.
I am currently on step one: fermentation. This is supposed to last 40 days….once that part is done we will circle back
