The Bees' Knees Mead© 2010

I whipped this year's batch up on 2/4/10 and tried to pitch my Lavlin 1118, but it seems that a year is just too long to try and hold onto a yeast culture without proper recultivating. So I just got some new in and it started everything going in about 8hrs. I was about a month behind on brewing this year's batch and it's about 10 days behind on starting, so this one will finish late this year. I'm already thinking about leaving half plain and half of it on some cherries or blueberries. OG 1.121+ 0.00@ 60F, which is close to 2009.
