Ah, well this evening is more "suspect" mead, though I'm just having a go at a mead/apple wine blend.
Both are CJJ recipes, both made with high alcohol yeasts (the apple with Youngs and the mead with ec-1118).
The "CJJ apple" is the one with very high fruit that "First Steps" describes as having a "Cidery Bouquet".
It did originally, but the mead tempered it some.
After 5 months bulk ageing, it's produced a nice dessert apple wine with a hint of honey - but as I've got 3 gallons of it, it'll be 1 for drinkies 2 for modification or whatever.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
Tonight will be 07 Trebbiano, and WE ltd edition Australian petit verdot (and whatever Karl brings with him)
Sounds good! My Treb is now bottled, post cold stabilising, and final clearing! The Petit verdot is down to 1.050, should be in secondary early next week.
