#12 Saffron Cyser

Racked off sediments. The sample I drew out was completely dry. There is strong apple and saffron in the nose, with a touch of honey. I tasted it and it's really hot, of course, dominated by the apple. I added about 6 oz of tupelo honey, dissolved in some warm water and a tiny bit of a concoction made by The Ginger People, a ginger soother. It contains ginger juice, lemon, and honey. I topped off with apple juice.

This mead had the thickest yeast cake I have ever seen.
