Review: Very nice Mead Making book. - I have brewed mead for a long time, and Im always in the look out for new ideas. I have made many variants of mead, from Cheesecake strawberry melomel, to white chocolate mead. So im always on the look out for new ideas. Anyway i did a search for mead and this was one of the books that appeared. Since it was under ten, i gave it a shot. The book is a small book, but the quality of the print is excellent. While it appears to be a small book, it is straight foward and is loaded with recipes. I really like that they decided to to make the recipes for a one gallon run. This makes it easy to adjust amount if you want to say make a five gallon batch or a six gallon batch etc. Other books are not stadarized, i have seen books where the recipe is for one gallon, the next one for 2.5, the next for five etc. Some books i have seen dont even tell you the yield. . It just complicates matters by not being consistent with the final yeild. The recipes in this book are for one gallon batches and its easy to figure out what adjustments you need make if you want to make a larger batch. This nice thing is that since it is for gallon batches it is easy to set up an experimental batch of a specific mead to see whether you will like it or not. For example there is a recipe for gooseberry mead. I did not want to do a five gallon batch and find out imwas not gonna like it, so i followed the one gallon recipe of this book and im glad, bc gooseberry mead is not to my liking. But the Ale mead was, so i later made a five gallon batch of it. The book ismto the point and simple, it tell you what you need to get started and has lots of recipes, it doesnt go off on tangents, or get scientifically technical. Small book but loaded.
Review: Good start! - Great for beginners

Great for beginners

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice introduction into Meadmaking
*by C***O on January 14, 2014*

I'm completely new to making mead. With that being said, I actually put my first batches together before getting this book. I really wished I had gotten it sooner because its pretty helpful. There are some oddities about it though. Pros: 1. The photography is well done 2. The History is interesting 3 Loads of different recipes Cons: 1. There are quotes from the book...in the book. This just seems to take of valuable space that could be used elsewhere. 2. Some information is vague. I understand that the book was short as intended to be, but I would have loved more description in regards to some ingredients/chemicals and processes. All said and done, it is a good book. Anyone who is looking into mead making could do worse than not picking this up. it's quite helpful.
