I used this as a base for a triple berry melomel. It turned out fantastic! Couldn't have asked for better instructions or quality of ingredients.

I basically took the kit and replaced 1 gallon of the water with 1 gallon of fresh juiced organic apples. I then let it sit in the secondary fermenter for a month with about two dozen cinnamon sticks. It reached an ABV of about 19% and is absolutely delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness to hide the high alcohol content. It has a very smooth mouth feel with the distinctive smell of honey and has a lingering taste of cider and cinnamon. This was my first mead/melomel and will definitely be using this kit again. Well worth the money.

I'm a beginner home brewer and of course I'm usually brewing beer. But I figured I'd try this and it turned out fantastic. And only took 4 weeks. My ABV was only 14.44% so maybe I have to try again. You have to like sweet to like this one. I know I do.
