Awesome. When do we mortals get to taste the nectar of the gods? ;)

I'm at the stage where it's gonna sit in the carboys for a good 6 months before I even think of bottling, and then it probably needs 6-12 months in the bottle before it'll be good, and a couple years of aging might make it 'great'. So I've started a quick cider to try and get a more immediately drinkable product, and I'm gonna play with some various recipes for stuff that can be consumed quicker, mead wise. There's a guy who's been in the mead community for ages, that has done a lot of experimenting with rather unorthodox procedures to try and produce decent drinkable products that don't need to age forever. In meadmaking 101, you learn a lot of 'never do this!' stuff - which he then suggests that you actually do, in a controlled way, to achieve the goal you want

Well, keep us posted. I'll let you know how our short mead exploration goes.

Isn't Carboy Speed-Bump-Man's dimwitted sidekick?
