As someone who knows very little (really nothing) about mead this spikes my interest. Are there good mead's available through ANBL??

[Juniper Hill]

It's really difficult to find commercial mead in Canada. I've only had one, and it was pretty aweful stuff. A common one in the US is Rabbit'sfoot. I've never tried it, but the reviews seem to be mixed. Nothing listed on the ALNB website for mead.

Ah i didn't recall seeing any on my frequent trips there so i didn't think so!

I know that dunhams run does produce some mead out in Kingston, are you familiar with their mead?

The only mead I've tried is the not great NS commercial mead, and my own. Just don't see it anywhere. I do look for it when travelling, but no luck so far. I think it's more common in the UK than in North America, although I keep hearing it's become more popular.

Try making a 1 gallon batch and see how you like it. A sweet mead tastes pretty good without a lot of aging. Dryer meads seem to need 2-3 years before they really start to taste good, in my experience. I made an off-dry blueberry melomel several years ago that was ok tasting, but not great. Went back to this spring, and it was awesome!

[mcgster]

I think i will do that and throw it in a 1 gal carboy i have laying around.

[Juniper Hill]

I posted a no-age mead recipe in the Wine and Mead section. It's a little sweet, but very tasty. My wife loved it.
