Fungus Stories

Most everyone's favorite fungus: Yeast! My Peach Mead is extremely vigorous. It is still bubbling up a storm. I estimate that at this rate it will take several months less than an average batch. This must has much more nutrients due to the peach additives. I may have this stuff by the end of the year

Hey Kevin,
All of your meade tales are really causing me to want to attempt a batch of my own. Can you recommend a *simple* beginner's recipe, is there even such a thing? Or tell me where to go to find one. I must try to make some.

thanks!

3-4 lbs for a fruitier mead 3-4 lbs of what?

Wow, I didn't know that there was so much involved in making mead. This is really cool. Thank you so much. I will try this in the winter when things FINALLY slow down! ~h
