Mead is honey 'wine.' Having your own honey and lots of herbs and spices makes it fun to experiment. I now have cocoa mead setting. It'll be ready to decant in 3-4 months and ready to drink at the end of 2014 or so. Yes. 2014. Cocoa purportedly has some bitter qualities in it that doesn't mellow for at least a year.
Mead is fun and the recipe I enjoy playing with is made with bread yeast (look of horror on brewer's faces, I know. Google Joe's Ancient Orange Mead for the recipe). Then, I've been taking artist's license with it.
If you want to try it? Have fun! It doesn't have to set as long as I've let mine set before decanting, but it adds to it's mellowness...
I don't really drink, but do enjoy a sip now and then...
