Thinking about Mead again. Has anyone made any lately? I tried making some earlier when I was new to brewing, now that I have a little more experiance I am thinking about it again.

I made a couple of the Ambrosia Farms Mead kits from HB4L. Both turned out well. I made the Spiced Mead and the Elderberry. The Elderberry was a big hit, the clover honey overpowered the Spiced Mead, a Orange Blosum Honey or something along those lines would have been much better. I saved a one of each for 8 months, both had a very strong alcohol taste. Ambrosia Farm Kits are technically Short Meads. I'll make a couple of the Elderberry Kits for late Summer or Fall. A kit makes 5 x 22 oz bottles.

I made a couple of these kits too. Cherry and blackberry. You are right they are pretty strong and I don't like the mess either, but it is fun to watch it churn around. I am thinking of doing a simple mead with maybe something in the secondary, but I don't know I have been pretty busy lately.
