Please add me to your ping list. Just ordered all of the supplies that I will need for my first batch of mead.

HomeBrewStuff.com has a flat rate shipping option of only $7.95, which is great and allowed me to get a glass carboy instead of PET. Every other supplier I looked at wanted $20-$30 for shipping on a carboy alone!

Now, if my book on meadmaking would just arrive, I could have this figured out before the supply order arrives. Hoping to do a muscadine infused batch.

How is your cranberry batch doing?

You have been added. My Cranberry Mead is sitting in bottles and is expected to be ready by November. Yum a Muscadine mead! That should be good. Just a little advice - freeze your Muscadines and lightly crush them before using. The freezing helps to break down the grape’s cell structure Releasing their flavor and juices. Good luck! Did you order a good wine yeast and the nutriments to feed the yeast during fermentation? Your book should give you some good info.

Thanks for stopping by.
