Is anyone else residing in either eastern or central MA, or even southern NH and ME?? I'm in what's considered "Metro West" basically between the 128 belt and 495 belt (closer to 128 though)... Thought it would be nice to connect with some other 'locals' that are also making mead... If there are enough, I'll start a meetup group... I do already have a LinkedIN group for NorthEast Home Brewers, if anyone's interested (send me a PM)...

Well, I include a slightly larger area in "drivable" range than most people do. If you have a meet or something set up, give me a heads up and I might be able to make it. A 2 hour drive is usually OK with me.

I've located a good source for fruits that can be used in meads/melomel's... Restaurant Depot (the one I go to) has mango's, prickly pears, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, kiwi's, and more, all at reasonable prices (and much better than I've seen them in the grocery store)... If anyone in the area wants to get together for a run, let me know... We could, also, go back to the hovel and mix up a batch, or three... :D I had to get an 18" whip while I was there, along with a good skimmer (much better than using a spoon)... ;D

Also, post up what weekend(s) are good for you to have a gathering... I realize that things could be tight before xmas, so it could be early next year too...

I'm pretty stoked about having a close by place where I can get these different fruits...

Well, I am not super local as I am in Northern Vermont. However I have family in the Manchester, NH area that we visit every few months, I'd love to be able to join in on some gatherings if I can make them coincide with a visit down that way. Keep me in mind if you start something

I'm bottling brews tomorrow, and trying to get a brew-day together for next Saturday (the 11th)...

Once any of my mead batches are ready for next stage, I'll post up... I'm hoping that will be sometime soon...

Send me a PM for when you'll be down this way next and I'll let you know what's going on as that time grows near...

I think I had seen that someplace before Brad, but thanks for the reminder...

I am starting a brew on Saturday (hope my honey arrives tomorrow/Friday) that's going to be a modified vanilla porter... If any other members want to come on down to Natick, I can fit a few more people in the brew-house/kitchen... ;D
