My cranberry/apple mead I made about two years ago is golden yellow.
Tastes great though. I bottled it about a month ago and kept it in a
clear demijohn until then. In the demijohn it had a faint pinkish tint,
but in the glass that is gone.

Hi!
I made my first 6 gallons of Cranberry wine late 2004, it was bottled
in September 2005 after following the Jack Keller web site's recipe.
As racking occurred - it got lighter and lighter pink. When I bottled
it, it was very pink, light pink, but pink. Now after not looking at
it for 4 months, today I retrieved a bottle and it is now a beautiful
golden with a hint of orange.

Is this normal?

So I took a 375ml bottle and chilled it, and poured a taste. Not bad,
still a little harsh, but much improved from when I bottled it. (It
was so harsh I assumed this would be throw away wine in a couple
years. smile)I didn't sweeten it, just let it go dry. I target
November for the earliest to try again, good thing I bottled a lot of
375's. smile. I am patient and can wait years if need be. smile.

Just wondered if anyone else with cranberry wine had it change to
this color?

thanks. DAve
