PS
if you were a self proclaimed alcoholic in the past then i dont think you posses the self control to handle sampling or casual drinking

and then it takes about 6-10 months


i think its typically a pound of honey per gallon you intend to make

I have been brewing mead (as well as beer) for about 7 or 8 years now. Its hard to get the basics right, but then it is easy and cheap.

99% of the store bought meads are garbage.
