Oh...let me add, I've brewed about 2 dozen batches of beer, so I have a little experience with homebrewing, but I have never tried a Mead before. I did pick up a bottle of mead at the store last weekend to make sure that it would be something we would enjoy. It was on the sweet side for my taste, but good and we enjoyed it. So I'm planning on making a mead that is on the dry side - but haven't made up my mind on a recipe. I'm leaning toward a melomel, but if anyone has a suggestion - I'm open to any ideas and advise. Now this is going to be something that we also serve to all our guests, so I'm staying away from the braggot (although I might make a batch of that for myself ;D) and trying to make it enjoyable for the masses.
Thanks
