This past Saturday was Mead Day. I did not brew any, but I did drink some of my own. I have this Semi-sweet cherry mead that has been aging for about a year now and tastes pretty good. It will probably need another 6 months or so before it is really good, but I can wait.
I entered that mead and my sweet mead into a contest at my local homebrew club…no I didn’t win or place or even show, but my club is known for mead masters and my mead did get a nod of approval from them.
So here’s to Mead Day! Go out and have a mead!

Sorry to be such an alarmist but I was beginning to worry. I envisioned you being swallowed by a gator while you were carrying a fresh batch of mead. The alligator might have thought the jug said “meat” instead of mead. Please print clearly from now on.
Cherry mead sounds good. BTW, CherryMead.com is available.

The cherry mead is alright. I let it get too dry and it thew off the balance. My sweet mead is my best so far. I also have a cyser (hard cider w/ honey as most of the sugar) that is VERY TART. That one needs some aging.
