Mead of life!

About a year ago I decided that I would try to produce mead. Why mead you might ask? Well, I have always been interested in the process of brewing and I have made several batches of beer. Even though most have been great I always felt that I did not have control of the ingredients. I could purchase what I wanted to use but "just" doing the work of preparing the beer just felt like something was missing. I want to have more control of the ingredients.

Throughout the years my attention have been directed toward mead. In the beginning of this year I required my first bee hive for the sole purpose of producing my own honey for mead. Selling a bit of honey on the side is just a bonus :o)

I live in apartment together with my wife and child but we have a garden house not far from where we live where I keep the bees. In the garden we also have apple trees, several bushes with berries, and beds with spices

Honey, fruit, berries, spices..........All I need to prepare my mead. 

I call this blog "Mead of life" since I will not only post logs of the mead I make but also describe the work put into getting the ingredients.

I will pick up on the events this year that have lead up the the mead that I have/will prepare this fall, and eventually post updates on new ideas and taste that I will prepare.

All for now. I will relax with a glass of mead (commercial) and listen to the joyful bubbling of my current batch.
