My mead making has been sporadic — which is odd, as the results have consistently proven good. I was going to lump this with the “Other Wines”, but decided mead deserves its own page.
Please note that I don’t make mead, I make metheglin, which is mead with spices. While almost any spice can be used (I’ve read recipes for bizarre ones that didn’t sound good), I used cinnamon and cloves, plus other pie-type spices. I will be experimenting with other ideas as time goes on.
Note: The wines in this list are in reverse chronological order. Clickable links navigate to the wine making log for the wine clicked.
Also note that wines marked with a green background are in progress, e.g., have not yet been bottled.
