  Just my $.02, go with a show mead (that is, water, honey, yeast, nutrient) as melomels age
  well, but will not last as long as a show mead (I mean, what if you're child doesn't get
  married until 35?). ...

  I'd go high alcohol roasted chille peppers and chocolate.

• Posted in thread: Question about the fittings on a corny keg on 04-20-2010 at 03:12 PM
  Oh, that makes sense, I was sort of assuming there was threaded posts welded to the keg itself.
  Another question, that pressure relief valve, I know it can be actuated by hand, but is there a
  pressure...

  Hmm Hank's looks like a good choice. How much bitterness is that one ounce of hops going to
  give it?

  So, my mother has decided she wants to get into homebrewing. I'd like to pick up the basic
  equipment for her along with a nice Hefeweizen kit (she loves Pyramid Hefeweizen if it makes a
  difference). T...

  Looks to be a white clover show mead. So just honey, water, yeast, and maybe some nutrients.
  What is the abv? That would shed quite a bit of light on what yeast to use.
