Mead

This has always been one of my favorite drinks, ever since I was- Hey, age isn't important! Maybe it's because I like honey. (Who doesn't like honey?)

I am now trying to brew my own. I started with the amazingly easy recipe found in the Gotmead.com's NewBee Guide. Instead of using a glass carboy (I just added a new word to my vocabulary), I just stuck it back in the 1 gallon jug; and instead of an airlock, I used a balloon (as suggested by stormthecastle.com)

At least I didn't use the archaeologically traditional version and pee in the jug.

...Why do I know that?

Next step, making an acerglyn (honey-maple syrup mead), and then rocketing into space on a sugar rush.

A friend of mine also gave me an e-z-cap, so I can brew test batches in a 2-liter bottle. Hang on, I just got a great idea for a prank! What my unsuspecting spouse thinks is Mountain Dew...

I have NO IDEA what Kansas alcohol laws are, but I do know that Carrie Nation is buried in Medicine Lodge. However, I am not going to worry because none of this will ever be for sale. I also think I've got Christmas figured out for the next ten years. Score!
