I started a jug of mead a-brewing last sat night. This is my first attempt at fermenting. The concoction is currently bubbling away nicely.

I love Mead, its expensive though.
With my love of beer you'd think I'd know how to brew anything by now but nope

Is Mead a complicated process? Beer can get pretty damn testy and tricky.
No, mead is easier than wine in that you don't have to deal with a must. You just add the stuff and set it to brewing. I used a recipe I found at
Storm The Castle. The guy has a bunch of mead making videos, as well as how-to videos on making catapults, paper castles, trebuchets... and more.
Good mead really needs to age awhile. I spose thats why it's so expensive. You can get an okay bottle of mead for ten bucks, but if you spend twenty it is truly twice as good. I'm planning on tapping into this batch next Halloween.
...and think I might try making some cranberry wine for thanksgiving 2010.
