White Bear Pinot Blanc Anti-Urban by Drudkh regular old-fashioned Mead

I used to homebrew with kits over a year ago but have stopped til recently. I started back up but with malt extract now. I made a Porter but I was disappointed with the after taste and thin mouth feel that all of my homebrews have suffered from until now, my spirits were down thinking that I...
