Kind of like making sausage or cheese. If you want to enjoy it you don't want to watch it being made.

Its the cleanest beverage you'll ever drink LOL !

I'm sure it's very good. But all the "garage supplies" do not put forth a lot of confidence. Those are not ingredients are they?

Its actually quite common ....http://www.homebrewtalk.com/gtsearch...ow-103%2F#1202

I'd really like to try mead, I just don't have the patience or desire to make it myself though. Wish I could buy it at the liquor store.

There is a chain of large liquor stores out here called beverages and more

www.bevmo.com they might ship it to you.

It suprised me how good it was.

Have you tried your latest batch? I drank mead at the Ren Faire in Waxahachie. It is a unique drink. I would also like to make my own someday.

Can you describe what the mead tastes like?

[abpt1]

yes I taste every thing when I test the gravity ! This is the first time I have ever tasted mead its more raspberry with a hint of vanilla..Its very sweet and very different from wine and champagne but kinda close but with kick ....From what I read apparently the kick fades after 6-8 month's the older it get the smother it gets...

This is getting pretty interesting. How long is it supposed to age before you drink it? (I've also never tried mead).
