The glass of sparkling mead I posted in my original post was started last year at the end of November and I was instructed to let it clarify in a secondary and tertiary for about six months and then bottle age for another six months. Wine takes time as does a mead (honey wine). That is why I prefer brewing BEER! It may be a month or a little more to a good tasting brew!

I have been curious about home-brewing since my brother-in-law does some awesome meads that he became quite well known for at sci-fi cons.

Tonight, however, I am reading this while enjoying a bottle of Crispin’s Honey Crisp hard cider. Wow....is this stuff good!

Anyone do hard cider?
