Honey Mead
Marc St Louis:
I came across a spiced mead recipe in an old book about 35 years ago so I made some. Didn't care for it
JW_Halverson:
I haven't had a spiced mead I liked yet. My alltime favorite is just plain old mead with maybe a bit of lemon.
JackCrafty:
The best batch of mead I ever tasted was one that was about 3/4 done. It was more like a champaign. Don't really care for the fully fermented stuff.
I've got first hand experience with the "glass grenade" thing. We tried bottling that batch that was 3/4 done. Didn't work too good...so we had to drink it all in one night. Oh well. ;D

I really want to brew up some mead next. But all my carboys are in use. I'm going to have to go out and buy some more.....
Have currently brewing:
5 gal elderberry wine
3.5 gal Apfelwien (dry hard cider)
5 gal cherry wine
1 + gal blueberry/blackberry wine.
and
1 gal elderberry raisin wine...
Guess I could start another gal or 2..
worse part is how long it takes.. Im not patient enough.
later

JW_Halverson:
I did a one gallon batch of straight up mead...just honey, water, and of course, yeast. Took 11 months to finish fermenting. Honey has little or no nutrients for the yeast other than the sugars. Won't make that mistake again. But ohhhhh, it was gooooood.
