FangsNfeet -> Sell you mead stock ASAP (8/4/2007 9:37:16 PM)

Wake up mead. What kind of crap is this? Get off your ass and go back to the drawing board.

What the hell as mead been thinking? How many people think kids are going to be allowed to bring speakers and an IPOD to class just because it connects to there notebook?

Between all the inventors, marketing, advertising, and investors, how could no one within this million dollar industry have the common sense to go "Why are we selling something that's not going to be allowed in school."

Oppinions anyone?

It does seem rather pointless without an integrated bong in the spine.

Seriously, for a second there I thought you were refering to the alcohol beverage distilled from honey.  My bad!



MadameDahlia -> RE: Sell you mead stock ASAP (8/5/2007 3:19:47 AM)

Same here. But most of my friends are pagan, poly, RenFaire, Sci-Fi geeks. So "mead" always translates to spirits.



Sinergy -> RE: Sell you mead stock ASAP (8/5/2007 8:12:07 AM)

If memory serves

15-20 pounds of honey
5 gallons of water

2 crushed nutmeg
2 crushed cinnamon sticks
3 ounces of fresh ginger, chopped
1/4 ounce of fresh mint.

Champagne yeast.

One month in primary fermenter, 6 months in secondary.  Bottle with a smidge of malt sugar.

Store for 2 years.

Prepare for a 2 day hangover.

Drink.

Voila!  My Battle Axes and Berzerker Fury Mead.

I have dozens of mead recipes in my head, GhitaAmati.

That particular one tasted simply awful for almost 2 years, and then suddenly became almost magickal in
taste.  I had a party and poured everybody onto the floor for two days with ice on their heads. 

If I remember correctly, it fermented out to about 16% alcohol, and mead hangovers are mentioned in the
Bible.

I have another one using 10 pounds of honey that tastes like a softly dry white wine.

Yummmmmmmmmm... me too, Sinergy.  Everything in moderation?  LOL
 
I made one with several pounds of fresh, organic raspberries I picked in my yard.  OMG, at first it tasted like turpentine or something...but after a couple years...it was like heaven; pale pink, slighty sparkling...absolutely delightful.

When Sir and I got married last march, we uncorked a bottle of 14 year old mead....damn it was some good stuff....unfortunantly most mead around our house doesnt make it past the 2 year mark....sigh.....



Sinergy -> RE: Sell you mead stock ASAP (8/5/2007 8:44:58 AM)

 
Most people dont let their meads age long enough.

After a couple of years of diligent work on the part of the yeast, the bee spit turns into something magical.

Prior to that it is something used to clean paintbrushes.

I dislike my mead tasting sweet, so I want to give it time to turn all those sweet sugars into alcohol.

Poor OP was trying to start a nice vanilla discussion about stocks.....darn doesnt he know not to do that around all us alcohalics? (oh wait, Im a drunk, alchohalics go to meetings)



MsBearlee -> RE: Sell you mead stock ASAP (8/5/2007 9:05:57 AM)

 
So true, Sinergy!  A local 'authority' and author on beer and mead: Charlie Papazian used to burry cases of mead he'd made, so he'd still have some several years later...when it was FINALLY ready to drink!  Funny guy...

As James Joyce observed:

"I drink, I fall down, no problem."

Cheers!
