I met a man yesterday who made the most amazing mead I have had the joy to taste in my life. Really clean taste. Really crisp. Not gaggingly (Which isn't a word, and I don't care because the meaning is apparent. :) ) sweet. Fifty proof. Hold on to that thought for a moment as it boggled my mind. Then he smiled at me and said that it went straight into the bottle tasting like that,no aging. I took a moment to process that. Then he smiled and said that he managed to get it to fifty proof in... SEVENTEEN days. And won't share his secret. Seriously I want to get my hands on his yeast as he claims the secret is in the feeding of the yeast. Either way, I was amazed at the way this stuff tasted...
