    The only folk who talk about mead are Non-drinkers.Little old
    ladies and Slavic Gypsies.Anyone who can't afford more than $2.12
    per day allotment on booze.
    Mead is an experiment process.I don't drink experiments.
    I'm not an alley cat.

    What the (*)(*)(*)(*) do you care about who drinks mead and who doesn't? You act like it's some kind of personal insult to you if people drink mead.

    Show me examples of those in literature drunk from wine.
    Movies like Cecil B. Demille may try and convince us that
    Those Romans were drunk in Merriment but it was myth.
    Y'know like ... urban myth.
    Like I said ... Liquid doesn't necessarily have to ferment to
    cause one to feel tipsy.
    If there was Real Fermented Wine in Moses or Jesus' day,the
    storytelling would abound about such.

    Whiskey is referred to in Canada as 'Rye' regardless of the rye content.

    I learned all I needed to know about Mead when I studied how to be a
    Homebrewer.I spent about 7 years brewing my own Homebrew.
    I really tried to get as good as I could.It was hard work.I had
    success and some failure.I forced myself to Brew a batch 4 times a
    year.Or every quarter.I had Raspberry Beer with chocolate.
    I had really nice Brown ales.Yes,I tried honey in my beer.
    But those are only words.To Brew means to know what it takes to
    cause fermentation.That is what brewing is.The process of creating
    fermentation.The more one understands fermentation the more they value
    standard procedures of acheiving such.
    Like Ideal fermentation temp.Like the proper yeast { lager or Ale }.
    Adding yeast at the right time.When you brew beer with a blow off
    valve you can see the activity {how yeast cells create little bubble
    popping }.If no little bubble popping then the yeast is inactivate {too cold
    a room temperature } or there's a stuck fermentation.
    There are ways to overcome a stuck fermentation.If the yeast used was
    bad or old then you have to find a way to introduce a fresh yeast.
    There are Dry yeasts in packets { cheapest } and more expensive
    liquid pack yeasts.
    Mead is strickly for little old ladies who want some colorful drink that
    sounds WAY more impressive than it yields.
    Just like Hops.Hops are needed to BITTER a beer.Most uninitated don't know
    that.They think Hops make beer more full.Hops are for Bittering a
    beer Period.With added aroma with a finishing Hop.

    Yes, there is a liquor store near me that sells it, or I think they still do anyway. To be honest, it's been a couple years since I've had it. I'm not nearly the drinker now that I used to be.
