I made a batch of this back in April and just now bottled the first of it (I had 3 gallons for the flavored version, but had 1 gallon left over - don't ask me how but that's the way it worked out - so I fermented it separately in a little one gallon jug) - I bottled the unflavored gallon. Heh, I...

Hey Fabila, I don't know if I can answer all your questions but I'll take a stab at some of them. I may be corrected even then, hehe. Recipe sounds interesting. You have slightly more honey than I used in my batch, which means your mead will either be sweeter than mine, or stronger :drunk...

Hey Tusch, thanks for the quick reply. Yeah... ack! I did not boil. I wouldn't mistreat my 20 bucks worth of honey in that fashion, hehehe. I did 160 degrees for 20 minutes.

Hello, I made a mead yesterday, first time for me for mead though I've been brewing beer for a long time. Anyway, I have 2 questions for the smart folks around here: First, my mead (based on "Malkore's (not so) Ancient Mead" recipe) is in a 3 gallon carboy. I've read several people talking...

Thanks for the welcome, everybody. A regional beer get-together could be cool depending on where and when! JJ, thanks for the reply on the mead boil/heat/no heat "controversy." I poked around the forums here and found a recipe I am going to try - that being "Malkore's (Not So Ancient)...

Hey there, Dave here. I came to homebrewtalk.com looking for mead info and discovered this forum. I've been brewing for a long time and want to try something new, and a (lying!) friend of mine told me how easy it is to make mead... well, I suppose it looks easier but the choices for how to...

Google. I was searching for info on mead and saw the link here.
