Honey wine! It’s fine; but too sweet IMHO. I guess it depends on the brewer tho. nostr:note15wkdj3e7pmfngrlmuu4xd0z7f9nj4ydvetwr2y6wx44057chsz0qrq9lqc

If it is fully fermented. It is not sweet at all.
Most of the home made mead I've had are from people that aren't patient enough to let mead ferment completely.
I had some commercial stuff from Denmark, and it was amazing.
There are some excellent meads out there. I been making mead for about twenty years now. I generally do not bottle it before it ages for a year. Some of my best meads are over 5 years old.
I was wondering what the min-max was. Thank you!
I've made beer a few different times, and was recently thinking about making use of my carboy with local honey. Any tips you're willing to offer would be great.
I've learned how yeast can totally change a flavor profile, and was thinking to use champagne yeast.
I'm willing to wait years if that's what it takes!
Champagne yeast makes a nice dry mead. For good fermentation of honey I suggest some kind of additional nutrients for the yeast. If you want to brew a show mead I would suggest a nutritional yeast supplement or adding some kind of fruit solves fermentation issues. Also, adding a tannin rich ingredient can balance the flavors out nicely.
Thank you!
Depends on the yeast used.
I've used a couple strains that are resistant to a fairly high level of alcohol and leave fairly little residual sugar.
For sure! I drank a really dry one, made by a beekeeper, kept in wood barrels for few years and then bottled. Was amazing 🤤
Gives me funny dreams
We quit imbibing alcohol, for health reasons, and it was time, we had knocked back more than our fair share and it was starting to slow progress. We are older than most of you freaks.
80 years old? 😁
Old enough compared to you young guns.
Tell me how old you are without telling me your age 😁
I still write thank you notes, make my bed everyday, and do my own housework. So I am able to do those tasks, but I am very keen on the possibilities of the Coin, too.
So, a little bit older than: 
Hmmm. Chernobyl? We might be contemporaries.
Was old enough to remember
Thank you for your extensive service. You could still be younger than I, depending on your enlistment date. Forgive me if as an officer you were not “what is called” enlisted. Beg pardon if I give offense. Several of my Marine friends ain’t too keen on being thanked for their service.
