I am interested in making some mead, I have an ample supply of pure maple syrup and a neighbor who has bees. I know this will be a dumb question but never having tasted mead what does it taste like? Is it like a wine or beer or brandy or ?????
don't pour maple syrup in to your mead....not your first mead at least.
Ditto on your first sentence KK. Over here, all the commercial meads seem to be "dessert mead". I tried 4 different ones last year, none of them were bad, but they were all cloyingly sweet. I measured gravity on them all and they showed between 1030 and 1040.-----%<-----
But I have never tasted any commercial mead that was worth it's cost.
I finally found a redstone traditional mead at a local wine store and snapped one up. For $25 I hope it is worth it. I'll be cracking it open when and if I can get some friends over for a beer / mead / cider / wine tasting in a few months. But I need to get an un-tappable lock for my store room, if there is such a thing.
Until then, it is taunting me in the fridge, just like all of my other meads that I have ageing.
