Ditto Medsenfey. I've made Mead from 'store-bought' honey and it's ok for your first go at it. IMO, on a 'dollar' basis, by the gallon, I figure that $15 is the absolute top end price of the 3lbs of honey reguired (it had better be very unique for me to spring for that). And a while back I did...

Your LHBS should have inexpensive ph strips. That and calcium carbonate to adjust it. I'd bet on ph being the issue here-M2C.

Relax, it's a slow starter. If it doesn't start, check your ph.

I’ve made a lot of Mead, Cysers and Braggots so far this year; a lot of 1 gallon batches along with a couple of 5 and 3 gallon also. I love to experiment. Wifey sez I must have been an Alchemist in some distant past life. After the bottling, there is always some left that isn’t enough to fill...

Look at the views-count. The lack of response may be that there isn't any reason to. It appears that you have your 'duckies-a-row' and your meticulous record keeping will serve you well. I always plan on long aging for mead. Put it away and start another batch.

Could I interest you in a bridge?

Like I previously posted: Some of us are interested in this and some aren't. And others soil themselves attempting banal humor. “We didn’t want to collect this data in the first place and we would like to destroy it as soon as possible,” said Google’s spokesman Peter...

Could I interest you in a bridge?

The 12 pack was part of the groceries in the deal for your ne'er-do-well brother in the back house to take care of the property. Still holding that stick?

(in response to weirdboy) I merely proffered facts in evidence. If you research this topic (maybe using your Google whatever) you might answer your question. Why you would rely on me to, shows that you have not and/or do not understand the broader implications inherent. However, just so other...

Some of us are interested in this and some aren't. For the 'why should I be worried' crowd- don't.

Not to worry. They jumped on me when I started this thread awhile back and when I ridiculed a couple of them, I got sent to the corner for a couple days. It's OK to ridicule me but not likewise.

The fact that they did (or do) is not as important (at this point) as to why. And there are those of us who are curious about this and those who are not.

It's funny when this subject is broached, all the disparate naysayers emerge from the woodwork like gang-busters. There's the 'ain't got nothin' to hide' crowd. The 'what have you got to hide' crowd. The 'are you paranoid or somethin' crowd. All nervously mocking the one who stands up...

Super Snooper GOOGLE busted again. Is there something that smells about their mea culpa? http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64D60E20100514

Try a Cyser. 2+lbs. honey, the rest apple juice, Cotes De Blanc yeast, and a cinnamon stick (maybe a clove or 2). Don't forget the yeast nutrient series additions.

One good thing about this thread is that it's got a bunch of people to look into the subject.

Assuming my motive is ridiculous at best. Read my previous post again for clarity and recall.
