Chaimera Mead
In progress, this mead was put into primary on June 26th. It follows the Summer Champagne recipe, but removes the ginger and bitter orange, boosts the honey to 2.5 pounds, and four bags of Stash Chai tea were added during the last 4 minutes of the boil. Depending on how it tastes after primary, more chai may be added, and I’m also thinking of oaking it. If it turns out, there’ll be a full writeup.
