  • A handy guide........

    I've just been digging around gotmead, and their "newbie guide" has been updated, so here's the link.........

    It's quite a comprehensive guide, and seems to just about cover nearly all aspects for the new mead maker.....

    Definitely worth a read....... just bare in mind that gotmead is a US forum so some of it would need "localisation" for the UK....... but that's not difficult...

    Brilliant.

    Am really liking "some" of my results with mead, cyser and pyments. I am thinking of doing a large session so that some time next year I will have plenty to drink and not need to dig into early and young batches.

    Hopefully a good read of this will help improve what it is that i am doing from planning to execution.

      Excellent, John. I've never made mead and have actually been thinking about giving it a go. This guide looks like a good one-stop shop for newbie information. Thanks.

        Well it's even more straight forward for you Steve, because you don't need to think of "localisation", you can probably get pretty much all of the ingredients that "them lot" over at gotmead can access easily.

        I'd also recommend a copy of Ken Schramms book "The Compleat Meadmaker". The only thing that lets it down for me, is that there's a lot of ingredients that are either hard work to get, and some are impossible.

        Ha! look up "the beefolks" in Maryland, they have some amazing honeys. I'd dearly love the chance of making a gallon or two of "Killer Bee" mead

        But yes, you're right, it's a very comprehensive guide........
