Lol, sorry. Had to do it :D

I drank my first mead at a renaissance festival about 10 years ago and completely loved it. After some thought throughout the years and a game called skyrim, I've decided to make my own. Where did you guys first try, hear of, and decide to start making meads?

just picked this little guy up today! so excited i just started a little recipe i came up with that i think will turn out well. its a bochet braggot. cant wait to try this thing out!

Well, my buddy just gave me a brand new conical fermenter. I've got about 3 different meads bulk aging right now and i think i'm going to try something a bit different. No concrete plans right now, but here's what i'm thinking. 6lbs of caramelized honey 1lbs of chocolate malt 1lbs of...

The only thing is, its very very dry. which isnt necessarily a bad thing because its delicious. I would have to say that it tastes strikingly similar to a good...

Just made a pumpkin apple cyser yesterday in hopes of getting it ready for fall. If not I guess there's always next year. I tweaked the recipe in the recipe section just slightly and I have high hopes. One question, though. Is there such thing as too much airlock activity? This thing is bubbling...

So I have three batches of mead going right now and have never made it before. I've tried it at the renaissance festival about 6 years ago and i absolutely loved it! The only think i can think of that I, as a new mead maker can't really wrap my head around is the way to carbonate. If you are to...
