Can't stay in the Snark because of the game updates. So far, I've managed to one-eye skim and scroll away from any vital info, but I'm watching on DVR delay, and I'm not going to spoil it. You flockers have a happy new year!

Mead is easy - 6 gal plastic bucket w/lid and bubbler - 5 gal batch - 3.5 gal H2o, 1.5 gal honey, 1 pkg champaign yeast, Stir. Cover for 15 - 18 days. Transfer to 1 gal jugs w/ bubblers. 35 - 40 days later transfer to second round of gallon jugs. 35 - 40 days later transfer to wine bottles and cork. Wait 1+ years. Makes about 23 bottles of mead at about 16%. Start next batch.

The hard part is waiting at least a year. The difference between new and aged is immense. After the first year, though, you have 20 bottles coming due every 3 months. With fresh strawberries in Apr, Peaches - June to August, Grapes June - July and Honey harvested in June but a LONG storage life, you can start a new batch of something nearly every month. You just have to have a lot of gallon jugs. Bottles are free from everyone who buys wine.

you had me until champagne yeast.

i really hate dry mead and such yuck
 
Happy new year for you guys, another hour for me. Had some Alaskan Winter beer (brewed with spruce tips) and about to drink my last Kentucky Bourbon Barrel ale and have a shot of 10 year old Laphroaig

Hope you all have a great New Year, be safe and have fun.

Laphroaig is great.... very smoky and peaty..... its actually used as a portion of lots of different blends..
