I have some peppermint mead that I racked today since the sediment was really building up. Tasted it when I racked it, and it is... bad. Not like it went bad, but all the sweetness is gone. It tastes like alcoholic minty black tea. The recipe I used said backsweeten with two pounds honey.... I...

Hey all.... I am sure this gets asked a lot around this site though I can't ever seem to find the threads when I need them. What is your preferred method for creating labels and other images for our "businesses"? I am wanting to do labels and a logo to keep on my bottles, but graphic design...

Admittedly, this is not a beer question but a mead question. However, since there are no sub forums for ingredients and such, I figured I would ask here. Tinkering around with a cherry/rose concoction... but I need FRESH pesticide-free rose petals. Any idea where I can get these? I'd imagine a...

So, this is going to be an odd question but I am wondering if anyone has experience with it. I am in the Dominican Republic and they have a local drink called Mamajuana which they call a baby maker. Ha ha. It is only about 28 proof and they said you can make it at home by combining equal parts...

Hey all. First post. Years ago, I used to be big into mead making and beer brewing (started with extract kits and moved on up to full grain). Unfortunately, some health concerns arose and I couldn't really drink for a long time. Dark times, indeed. However, I am looking to get back into the...
