Moragh, Uriel, June

Moragh (the original coffee mead)
Cleared nicely. Realised I hadn't properly stopped it yet, so it's off the lees and stopped now.
Planning to put this in 0.33L bottles (since I have so little and want to share it with many!) with one (plastic) 0.5L bottle to bring with me to Wasteland. IDK if that's enough to enter in the contest but it needs to be shared there.

Uriel (5 gallon batch)
Cleared in the bucket but not completely, and I don't like having it in the bucket for long (worried about oxidation because of the huge headspace) so back into the big carboy with yeast stop and bentonite. I've left it on the dining table because letting it fall clear and then moving it is a pain, so.. it's got about 3 weeks before the table needs to be cleared for Christmas.

The plan with it then is to bottle 8-10 liters plain, because I just don't have any plain mead in stock and maybe that's an oversight. I want to fill a few bottles for spice experiments (I have black cardamom, tonka bean and kola nut to try). And as yet no decision what to do with the rest. I could infuse it with the spice tea I used for Lane? That should infuse just fine.  Or do a traditional spiced one for once, with clove, cinnamon, ginger? maybe? and some orange peel? idk

June (maple/cacao bochet, bottled)
Wanted something to drink this weekend and I don't know what possessed  me to think this was a good choice. It is very much Not Ready. Forget Christmas - MAYBE Christmas next year.
