I copied our redneck cousin's and made this. Good clean neutral and fresh cherry's. We have a bumper crop in Mudgee. Apparently it will be ready in two years. We'll see.

Seems to me that if you played around in there with a potato masher and smooshed a few of those cherries up a bit i recokn it would not take 2 years.

Mate i gotta tell ya, some of the best seasonal mead i ever tasted was cherry. Man, with a touch of vanilla and a whisper of cinnamon, it is pure heaven. Can't imagine it would be different in a 'shine done right. Make yer base and add it as an adjunct. A month, tops. I mean f*kin mellow.

Sorry mate don’t know what type of cherry but they were big ones. Some of them barely fit in the flagon. I did a 1gallon flagon with pips in and a couple of smaller jars with no pips. ABV is still strength, 85-90%.

Old mate reckons leave the stalks on so you can eat the Cherry’s easier. I didn’t do that.
