My brothers getting married soon, and I was having alot of trouble thinking for a present. I figured that with mead having an ancient history in love and all that, it seems the perfect drink. And the ability to have it age and last as their marriage goes on.
My plan is to make A mead on the day of their wedding(me being across the country and not being able to get there) So then on their first anniversary they can open a 1 year old bottle of mead. Then by the time their second aniversary rolls around there can be a second. and so on and so forth, aging with their marraige. The only thing is, although I've made a couple meads, I havent tried too many, and most of the ones Ive tried were pretty young. I want to make a mead that can taste good by that first year, and taste great years from then
Ive been looking at a Sweet mead recipe out of the complete joy of homebrewing. But I think maybe something with a little more copmplexity but not too far out there (theyre a pretty laid back couple) would fit the bill.
I would love any suggestions input and ideas. I havent had much experience with mead so anything at all would be greatly appreciated
