First fermented dates honey mead of the season

I’m so glad the fermentation succeeded the sample tastes like apple cider with a sour kiss. The smell is extremely sweet. The alcohol kicks 🤙

I used the traditional honey mead ratios and added dried dates with yeast. Proper cleaning is the most important part.

Looks like extremely short fermentation in mead, dates should accelerate and improve sedimentation, just how fast was it?

Just started my first batch of basic honey mead yesterday! Your recipe caught my eye because I’ve got a bag of dried dates sitting in my cabinet and I was wondering what recipes to try for my next batch. Did you do anything to prep the dates or just add a handful of them to the must?
