Mead aeration

Looks the business! I'd have thought you'd get a bit of tannin from all that cocoa powder, or a similar effect at least.

Very interested to see how this develops. That stout/vanilla mead you did a few months back was incredible.

I'm doing a spiced mead at the weekend, cant wait.

Cool! What exactly spices are you going to add? I am experimenting now with heavy toast oak chips addition to 10-months old batch:



Just want to add some colour, tannins  and toasted oak flavour to my traditional "Debniak" ("Oak mead"). Aging mead in oak barrels is not possible for my small apt, so only one way is a oak chips hack ;-)
