Meet the mead.
So we've been brewing our first batch of mead. It was a lot of fun, and there'll be more to come!
We made three varieties called Edmund I, Edmund II and Siegmund. (so named by our expert on mead naming, Pan) The first two are an attempt to make the same mead twice, by performing all steps identically. Meant to establish the influence of 'luck' versus the influence of the recipe. Luckily, the recipe won.
The first mead was served at our new years party 2011->2012.
Personally, I like Siegmund the best, but others prefer Edmund, which has a definitive apple flavor to it.
The next batch will be prepared some time in February. New experiments!
