Yep, just racked 4 gallons tonight:

Honey mint lemonaide (a mead with lemon zest & mint) it's a summer sipper.

Orange & Clove mead for thanksgiving

An Austrialian Lager (like fosters, but drinkable)

Sunshine berry beer (a light raspberry ale for summer)

I minored in bio chem (met mr Saddi in class), and kept taking chemestry classes to hang out with the tall blond guy!

mead??? is that a kind of beer???

 

[saddina]

It's honey wine, instead of grape juice you ferment honey. Stuff is usually a year before it can hit a glass, so it takes a level of waiting that frustrates people. I'm a complete lightweight, with a 1/2 glass maximum so I end up giving it away.

It's very good, I just lack the ability to drink, but it gives me a different sort of recipie to tinker with.

It makes them easier to eat.

You just think of them as food. It doesn't make you a killer to eat or even to control population. I can't think of another animal that has to consider its food. Most only kill what they can eat or need for there family but they take what they need.

It's just the moment, that's it.
