Bottling The Cherry Melomel
This summer I started a batch of cherry melomel.
By November it had been racked into new jugs twice and the cherries had been removed.
Now a month later the brix reading hadn't changed and being right where the recipe said it should be, I was confident it was ready to bottle.
From these two gallon jugs I bottled into fourteen 12 oz beer bottles and one much larger bottle not pictured.
The tops have been marked by a sharpie with "CHY" representing "Cherry" since I haven't made any labels for the beer or wine I've made recently.
For my own reference, the codes on the caps are as follows:
CHY: Cherry Melomel
IS: Irish Stout Beer
FH: Fall Harvest Melomel
Gold Caps w/o marking: Traditional Mead
Blue Caps w/o marking: Pumpkin Beer
CC: Chocolate Cherry Beer
