What the hell as mead been thinking? How many people think kids are going to be allowed to bring speakers and an IPOD to class just because it connects to there notebook?

Between all the inventors, marketing, advertising, and investors, how could no one within this million dollar industry have the common sense to go "Why are we selling something that's not going to be allowed in school."

Oppinions anyone?

I have dozens of mead recipes in my head, GhitaAmati.

That particular one tasted simply awful for almost 2 years, and then suddenly became almost magickal in
taste.  I had a party and poured everybody onto the floor for two days with ice on their heads. 

If I remember correctly, it fermented out to about 16% alcohol, and mead hangovers are mentioned in the
Bible.

I have another one using 10 pounds of honey that tastes like a softly dry white wine.

Yummmmmmmmmm... me too, Sinergy.  Everything in moderation?  LOL
 
I made one with several pounds of fresh, organic raspberries I picked in my yard.  OMG, at first it tasted like turpentine or something...but after a couple years...it was like heaven; pale pink, slighty sparkling...absolutely delightful.

Most people dont let their meads age long enough.

After a couple of years of diligent work on the part of the yeast, the bee spit turns into something magical.

Prior to that it is something used to clean paintbrushes.

I dislike my mead tasting sweet, so I want to give it time to turn all those sweet sugars into alcohol.

So true, Sinergy!  A local 'authority' and author on beer and mead: Charlie Papazian used to burry cases of mead he'd made, so he'd still have some several years later...when it was FINALLY ready to drink!  Funny guy...
