Hello

[meadmadame]

Hi, I'm a Californian who makes mead at home. The first batch was a clover honey and agave blend and the darn thing took first place in a really minor competition. Beginner's luck, perhaps. Suddenly people thought I knew what I was doing.

So a few other things are going in the mad science kitchen laboratory: recently bottled a lime and coconut mead (inspired by the '70s pop song), getting set to do a pina colada melomel inspired by another '70s song. My friends rate these on a scale of Mr. Howell to Little Buddy.

Also currently underway is a recreation of a fourteenth century French mead adapted from period recipes. That one is nearly ready for racking. Have started two nearly identical tej batches: one with gesho inchet and the other with kitel.

A local club has been wonderful about advice and assistance. Homebrewtalk has been one of the online sources where I've also researched. So hello everyone. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Welcome aboard! I love brewing beer, but will eventually try mead. I hope you continue to enjoy the sage advice of the folks here at HBT. BTW, the "scale of Mr. Howell to Little Buddy" is an absolute riot.... I love it!
