    Cool The Best Gifts Are Hand Crafted

    My wife's birthday was yesterday, and I presented her with this:



    Caramel Apple Cyser (which is Mead made with apple cider instead of water). I made her a gallon of it, so there's 4 others to go with it. The map in the background is an old map of Breconshire in Wales from 1693.

    I steeped some crystal malt in the cider, then used local wildflower honey. After it finished fermenting, I back sweetened it a bit with some buckwheat honey.


    It's only 4 months old at this point, which is very young for a mead, so we're letting it age for a couple months before trying a bottle. If she likes it, I might just make 5 gallons for her next year.
