I'm still puzzled why mead is such a niche drink. Normally you won't find it in any restaurant or bar.

Yet, it's extremely simple to make, and there's so much variety to it! Unlike wine, mead can be made entirely of local ingredients, giving it a unique regional flavor.

In the photo is my new 25 liter bottle with mead on rose petals and tea 🤤 Previously I've used a 5L demijohn, but the output was only about 4L, so my plans on aging some bottles for a couple of years were not going to materialize 😅

I'm also trying new experimental Wyeast 4184 Sweet Mead liquid yeast, which is supposed to leave slightly more sweetness in the end product, let's see if I can get away without back sweetening 🤔
