Just a quick question peeps..... Has anyone made Mead from ivy honey and, if so, did it taste ok?
I know ivy honey is an 'acquired' taste for some but would be interested to hear from those that have.

I have some in bucket and about 5 supers full that have set (will be aiming to feed this back early next year and take off in time to extract) but was thinking of using the bucket rather than bottling it.
 
made 1 demi from heather and ivy and it tastes ok.
 
cheers Protheroe,

Will give it a go... try a couple of different types.... dry, sweet, medium and perhaps add a bit of fruit :)
 
Add to apple juice and make a Ciser

Do not do this with Macuna honey, it needs to be disposed of in a proper way, your local council should be able to advise!
