How many of you make mead? I made my last small batch for Thanksgiving and I've just gotten caught up with life and other hobbies and forgot it existed until I saw this community.

I've been making mead pretty consistently for 4-5 years now. Super fun.

I've got a (planned) quick turnaround strawberry mead currently fermenting that I plan to filter, back sweeten, and add some lemon flavor in to have a strawberry lemonade mead on tap for the summer.

Otherwise I've got probably around 25 gallons aging in the basement, including some weird stuff like tomato mead, lambic mead, and sea water mead.

That sounds amazing, can't wait to hear how it turns out!
