Mead · Melomel · Still · Semi-SweetA rich, jewel-toned blackberry melomel is one of the most rewarding homemade meads you can brew. Combining the deep berry flavours of wild blackberries with the natural sweetness of honey, this blackberry mead recipe is perfect for autumn hedgerow picking season. It produces a beautifully coloured, full-bodied drink with an ABV of around 12%. Forage your own fruit or use frozen blackberries for a year-round brew.
Mead · Melomel · Still · Sweet–Semi-SweetStrawberry mead, or strawberry melomel, is a crowd-pleasing summer brew that captures the sweet, candy-like essence of ripe strawberries.

I started making wine about seven years ago, mostly to drink a bit cheaper. I built Demijohn Journal because I kept losing recipes on scraps of paper. Yes, it is built with AI. It has also been a long time coming.
