^well said... I like this in particular:

"7: Nutrients exist for a reason. If you don't use them, you'll have problems. Sure, ancient people didn't use them, but they also ate rancid meat for dinner and life expectancy was in the mid-30's."

I had my first real taste of mead this last weekend - Oh the wasted years!

What I had was the Hidden Legends Dark Honey Mead. On first taste, it wasn't bad, but I wasn't that impressed. On the third glass, I decided I REALLY like this stuff. It definitely has to go on my brew/vint list now. It was not what I expected, but it was quite tasty.

Interesting that the recipes page contains pyments, cysers, and other melomels, but I was about to give up on finding a non-fruited mead recipe and just freelance it. I'm glad to have found this thread now, and the recipes at the beginning. Thank you. It'll be a while before I free up a carboy, but this is going on the list.

I just recently tried Hidden Legends pure honey mead myself. It was really fantastic. I emailed them to get some pointers. The son, Joe Shultz, seems like a nice guy, but he didn't have any information for me directly and sent my request to his father, Ken Shultz, who is the brewer but I never did get a reply back from him. I have some friends who own a winery though so I know how busy the brewers can get...
