Much love, much love

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who came before us and led the way towards the mead revolution.

The Compleat Meadmaker : Home Production of Honey Wine From Your First Batch to Award-winning Fruit and Herb Variations - props to Rooney for this great find. Unsure as for why the misspelling on the title, but let it not fool you: this is as encompassing as it gets. Tons of info, lots of pics, tables, comparison charts... a tome of vast importance if you want to experiment with various honey varieties and types of fruit. Essential!

Stormthecastle.com - If Ken Schramm's book is called The Compleat Meadmaker, Will Kalif's website is the Compleat Idiot's Guide to meadmaking. Step-by-step instructions on what ingredients to buy, how to prepare your must, and a plethora of knowledge (including videos) sure to make your wife hate you for spending hour after hour in your basement making booze -- all presented in simple to understand, idiot-proof prose that's at once informative and motivational. After reading Will's site, the question was not 'how to make mead': it became 'how can we not  make mead'. A must! (pun intended)
