Hello all, new to forums, glad I found them.
I have been brewing beer for about 15 years, 1-2 batches a year so not very often but I have done it enough to understand the procces. I have been interested in mead lately and want to try my hand at brewing some.
First my questions;
Can I use a plastic carbouy for fermentation?
I dont own carbouys, I use plastic buckets for my beer. If needed I will get glass carbouys but I have access to plastic ones, thats why I was asking.
Will mead tie up my beer making plastic buckets for a long time?
I suspect the answer may be yes from my research. I want to brew another beer batch soon so I dont want to tie up my ferminter too long. Guess I may need 2 carbouys.
Is this a good first time mead kit?

I have been using Williams brewing for years for my beer and I love thier kits so I thought I would try thier mead.
Being in Florida I will use orange blossum honey from local supplier.
I have never even tasted any mead but based on my tastes in wine, I would probably enjoy something in between dry and sweet.
Thanks so much for your time.
