I kept talking about brewing some up and my Wife wanted to try some before she could get behind me having yet another "hobby". The only stuff the local liquor store had was a fairly dry, but sweet, California mead. I forget the brand, but I'll never forget the Mrs reaction after a few glasses.
Sulfites have turned us off several types of beer and wine, so brewing my own mead sounds like a good way to control what goes where...
In more than one way my friend. LOL.
