I started this homebrew journey with making mead, but moved to beer when I got impatient waiting for all that mead to finish

I can make countless batches of great beer in the time it takes to make (and mature) one batch of mead. It helps the time pass

I am just glad it is so much fun to make! I am an herbalist and this is like having a new playground! Though I am looking forward to savoring the mead, I am just as excited about the feedback it will give me, and having a new medium to work in.
Everytime I open my herb cabinet, I think of half a dozen recipes I would like to try.
The good news is that making a gallon or two each week will give me a steady flow.......some day........

Though I am not a beer lover (although I have never had a home brew) I have found that I am delighted' that I am also a komucha maker so that I can make "countless batches" of that while I am learning the patience it is going to take to be able to call myself a meadmaker!

I am truly grateful for all the wonderful stories, recipes and advice that this forum is filled with!
