<details text="Wherein I talk about booze..."><summary>Wherein I talk about booze...</summary>Getting interested in making mead again, for some reason. I'd probably just start with a simple hydromel, but I have some ideas for what I want to try:
|
|
- Sharp methyglin - sharp spices, like cardamom, cinnimon, nutmeg, cloves (you know, chai spices)
|
|
- Smooth methyglin - smoother spices, like vanilla, almond extract, maybe dandylion flowers, maybe carob? Chicory? Lemon balm? Maple syrup?
|
|
- Herbal methyglin - yarrow, dandylion greens, basil, lemon balm, mints, wormwood(?), hyssop, you know, the plant stuff. (NB: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/gv_ranna/56311.html">Herb beers</a>)
|
|
- Medicinal methyglin - 'cause, if you're gonna take meds, take them with booze!
|
|
- Simple cyser - cider-mead. Ryan might like this.
|
|
- Some sort of melomel - dunno, just to try it. I'm not really big on berries, but they seem popular.
|
|
- Tej or something - honey and hops.
|
|
|
|
The rest are just fanciful ideas:
|
|
- Theamel - TEA! Earl grey, lady grey, vanilla russian caravan, french blend, maybe even green tea?
|
|
- Cafemel - hahaha, coffeemead! Actually, I see a recipe for orange-coffee mead, and that might be good. Also, a chocolate orange mead? Thought chocolate, I'm not sure of.
|
|
- Floramel - flowers; lavender, rose, those things that used to grow outside the house on dartmouth? Or maybe sweeter things, like dandylion flowers, meadowsweet, &c.
|
|
- Nucumel - can you make tea out of nuts, like almonds and hazelnuts?
|
|
- Simple cyser - cider-mead. Ryan might like this.
|
|
- Some sort of melomel - dunno, just to try it. I'm not really big on berries, but they seem popular.

|
|
|
|
I'm not really too keen on the idea of milk or chocolate meads, but they may be worth trying.
|
|
<em>You know, you've not actually tried mead yet. You're not even sure you'll like it. Perhaps you should think about that first.</em>
|
|
Pish and, conversely, tosh. How the hell do you think I get into all of my other obsessions?
|
|
<em>Point. But your other obsessions might not take multiple months to brew.</em>
|
|
Point.
