Thanks! Melomels are great. I have found they are perfect intro meads for those who do not "like the taste of mead" as there is additional fruit flavors... Have had good luck with blackberry, blueberry, and 50/50 black/blue blends.
Oh I love mead. Those bubbles in yours look extra fun. Blackberry is what I was interested in making, though I found a recipe for dandelion mead (is that a melomel?) and found that intriguing. Have you tried that?
I have seen recipes for various flowers and reeds — such as dandelion, but have never tasted one. Now that I think of it, I have never seen one lol. Do it!
I made one with chamomile. Delicious after it sat a year to mellow, but it will put you to sleep in a heartbeat. Hibiscus is next on my list. I love floral flavors
