 Gotmead.com is the internet's premier resource for everything to do with mead: how to make mead, mead recipes, mead in history, mead and honey tasting notes, articles and hundreds of links to everything else.
Discover the mysteries of mead, also known as honey wine, the oldest -- and easiest to make! -- fermented drink in the world! If you've never tasted mead, you're missing out! Mead comes in a dazzling array of flavors, depending the type of honey, the brewing process you use, and the added things like fruit, herbs, spices and even peppers you use! Mead makers for thousands of years have made meads flavored with exotic spices, flowers, herbs and just about every kind of fruit you can imagine! Mead can be as sweet as a maiden's kiss, or as dry as a desert, or any place in between. You can make meads that will challenge an award-winning cabernet for complexity and balance, or just fling honey, water and yeast together in a glass jug and enjoy a rough and ready and very tasty drink in a little over 2 months! |
