Review: Very helpful, easy read - The text is a bit overly flowery/poetic, but it adds a certain charm and makes for a less boring, less technical read. I tried making grape wine last year and wound up pulling information from a lot of different places, trying to figure things out. Needless to say, it was a lot of work, with mediocre results. We started beekeeping a couple of years ago, and I've wanted to try making mead for even longer. This book really helped break down all the components I needed, the steps to follow, and the explanations for why you do and need all of these things. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet (I'm planning on doing that in the next couple of weeks), but I certainly feel much more knowledgeable and prepared to start than I did with the grape wine.
Review: A must-read for beginner mead makers. - Easy to read and understand, Mr. York makes the daunting task of making mead one that is approachable and fun. This book covers will take you from unknowledgeable novice through intrepid beginner to comfortable experimenter. I have read this book many times and the knowledge provided within has given me the confidence and understanding to go from buying my first kit to developing my own recipes. A must-read for those looking to make mead.
