I (very obviously) am not an expert on wine. But I did recently enjoy some domestic Port. I'll have to save up a bit to sample some of the imported kinds.

And if you are interested in looking about, this link is to my favorite local wine seller.

Hunh. Just says "yeast".Menolly wrote:Oh cool!
If you can find out what type of yeast is included now that you have instructions, I hope you will consider sharing the process of how it is done. I love mead, but have never seen a fermenting kit for it.

I would love to do the all-out method like on gotmead.com, but the jargon totally flies over my head. If it could be put in total amateur newbie terms though I would definitely give it a try.aliantha wrote:Cool, Syl!Syl wrote:aliantha wrote:I would definitely try this again, maybe at Yule. But I would buy another kit, and not try to use a recipe from the intarwebz. Gotmead.com has a ton of recipes -- and technical terms and advice on buying specialized equipment and so on. They just generally make it into a freaking science. *Way* too technical for me.
I now feel less guilty for only giving my last batch three months.If only it took me that long to drink all five gallons of it.
My next one is going to be a melomel. I'm going to use peaches and lime and call it diamondraught.
The recipe in this kit produces what the directions call a short mead -- because it doesn't have to ferment very long. Perfect for people with short attention spans like me.
