TiaChica's Orange & Spice Mead

Right... one more racking. Nice taste to it too. Vinometer has it at higher than 25%? Don't think so but still nice.

I am planning on bottling them in June. Wedding presents sorted.

Oh, and I did use the stocking trick too.

Old stockings/socks are fine for staining as long as they are sterilised, but for filtering I would recomend the Harris Vinbrite filter, it may remove some of the flavour!! but if you leave your wines or meads for at least 3 months filtering shouldn't affect them too much.

Hi Ohbear,

But why use a filter that removes flavour? And what is it about asbestos in the filters? Not sure I want my wine anywhere near that.
