Well, I tried some of the strawberry mead I made in early October and oh man. So good. I can't imagine it being better, but I'm sure it could be. That gallon didn't last long. I know what my first 5 gallon batch will be.

Then I tried an orange that I made on the same day as the strawberry. Totally horrid. It looked and smelled great, but holy cow, it tasted nasty. Undrinkable. I'll let that one sit for a while longer. Maybe it will improve. Maybe something went horribly wrong. Time will tell.

This is fun stuff. I have 3 other flavors to try. I'm hoping for the best.
