Does anyone make mead?

We harvested our first 3 gallons of wildflower honey from our Italian Bees. Expect another harvest in July. Our first gallon of mead is brewing. Wonder if anyone else makes mead?

I have not. I don't care for mead but I think the fermentation process is fascinating. (I worked at a winery in Tennessee for a few years when I was young.)
My son used to work at a mead pub(?) He is the brewmaster at a craft brewery in Colorado now.
I hope your thread stays active. I look forward to hearing about your results.

The only fermented beverage I drink is my own kombucha (negligible alcohol), but I'm fascinated by the process.

While I’m not a fan of mead I very much enjoy fermenting other things and love learning about the process. Looking forward to hearing about your results!

i have made a few batches of mead, beer, cider and wine (plus vinegar). am far far from a expert. but its great hobby. i make it from extra honey we have after the run is over.
