Mead Making


At our bee meeting this week, Ricky Barbour gave a great demonstration on mead making. He won the Blue Ribbon at the NC State Fair this year for his mead.
The recipe "Joe's Ancient Orange Cinnamon Clove Mead" was very simple and the whole process so easy everybody was ready to go home and make a batch.
Check out this website www.gotmead.com for more information and the recipe.
My Dad and Grandfather (the beekeeper) both made homemade wines and ciders. I think I need to give it a try too.
