The Amazing thing about home-Mazing is that you needn't follow any Fed Rules/Regs/Codes. For example, many a homebrewer/mazer will often negatively surmise that Acoustic Draft Meads are nearly flat and have a head that vanishes quickly. Little do they know that the taxes per gallon soar beyond a certain carb level and that due to Mead's lack of protein (as appose to beer) there will be little, if any, head. Another code is that honey cannot be diluted below 13P, which, incidentally will yield a fine Session Mead. Temperature control during fermentation and conditioning, coupled with a rigid discipline of sanitation, are keys to a finished product devoid of off characteristics.
