Three batches bubbling

Started a batch of mead a few weeks ago - cherry melomel with fresh cherries.  Yesterday I started a batch of mead with the very last of the cranberry bog honey from Wisconsin, and a batch of hard cider with Honeycrisp apple cider.  All three are bubbling away happily.

Given that half of what I made in California turned into absolute crap, I'm interested to see what my brews do here in VA.  At the very least, we don't have the wild temperature swings that we did in SoCal.  Plus, we have a basement here that will allow me to keep things cool (or cool-ish) and dark.  Just about every thing we made in Wisconsin came out a winner.  I'd like to get back up to that level again.
