Mead appears to be a whole lot more trouble than ale. The time frame will make it a real pain to tinker with recipes. I’ve done a batch of ale in 2.5 weeks.
Yep! I agree on a quick ale is the way to go. Actually the mead is no trouble at all. Just set it aside and forget about it. It just takes a lot of time before it is mature and ready consume. I doubt I will do many meads. I want my beer!
