i like a mix .
i forget the name of it but the ones where is like half barley wine and half meade. full meade is too sweet.
and hot meade is nice but the honey notes are a bit overwhelming.
id be interested in brewing some meade and mushrooms and soruce tips.

way too sweet for my tastes

this. i tried to get into it duriny my "le badass viking" phase but it tasted like shit

If it's not back sweetend it shouldn't be sweet at all. I'm sure you can find a dry to semi dry mead or make some yourself it's very easy to make

It can be good but holy fuck are mead drinkers unbearable.

Picrel is what changed my mind on mead. Its fucking delicious and not too sweet like most honey meads. It also isn't bland like most dry mead. Unfortunately it's impossible to find outside of a two hour drive from where its made.

Are we talking about actual honey mead here? How could it not be sweet?

Love the stuff, the welsh one is one of my favourites. It's called celteg or something

yeast is supposed to use the honey to make alcohol. If you use the right ratios there shouldn't be a lot leftover

The problem with brewing mead is honey is a natural antiseptic that kills yeast. So it actually doesn’t ferment well without added minerals that suppress the honey from killing the yeast

>>18562146
no because I don't own a fedora

>>18562146
I sure do.

Or you could just mix it with boiling-hot water (then let it cool before adding yeast). Heating honey considerably decreases the amount of various other substances in it.
