Anyone for mead?

[Highlander]

:drinkup: I haven't yet but I'd like to have a crack at making some (purely for medicinal purposes of course).

Any of you been there before?
Prepared to give me the benefit of your experience?
Share a favorite recipe perhaps?


Cheers :drinknsin:

I have a friend who makes mead and he says it's really easy. There are heaps of mead (and metheglyn, and melomel etc) recipes on the web. Try The Joy of Mead (http://www.stormthecastle.com/mead/mead-recipes.htm) or google around. Maybe ask at your local brew shop?

I'm more a wine and beer brewer myself, but the mead does look pretty straightforward. Will have to find some cheap raw honey and give it a go.

I've made mead before. Tastes nasty. It really needs to be aged for a at least 1 year before it becomes good enough to drink. It really does give nasty hangovers.

Pity you live so far away. I'd definitely be into sharing a batch. Mead is by far my favourite drop and the results of indulging liberally only seem fit for posting in l.o.a.

I bought some once. Did not like it.

Maybe I should have used a wooden mug. That's the traditional ware for mead or so I am told.
