As a newbee mead maker I'd just like to really stress this point to other newbees
Mead gets better with time!
Now, my first few batches I made i drank within a couple months, just because I wanted to taste my creation. Yeah it was ok, and drinkable but I refused to tell myself it wasn't as good as it could be.
After more reading of the forums and hearing people say things like "cracking open a 1 year old bottle..." I finally decided to put a couple bottles away for "later".
Now I'm only 4 months later, but sweet Jesus! The difference is incredible! I shall always be putting bottles away for at least 4 months before even touching them. Hopefully leave them for 6 months+.
Patience patience patience!
P.S
Maybe enjoying this bottle a little too much
