Description
As one of the most ancient of human beverages, mead arose in part because it was easy to make. Today' hobbyists rediscover the simplicity of making mead while revelling in the range of flavours that can result. In this book, veteran beverage hobbyist Ken Schramm introduces the novice to the wonders of mead. With easy-to-follow procedures and simple recipes, he shows how you can quickly and painlessly make your own mead at home. In later chapters, he introduces flavourful variations on the basic theme that lead to meads flavoured with spice, fruits, grapes and even malt.

area of significance not covered in this highly informative book is the relatively new approach of staggered nutrition schedules to facilitate yeast development and reproduction. Over the years, I have made hundreds of gallons of mead and this book has served as an excellent resource on the topic. If you are interested in mead as a mazer or as an informed consumer, add this book to your library: you will be pleased. Show Less
