I think I just found another hobby I can't afford!

I'll just be buying Mead. If I start another hobby I won't be doing any of them.

I'm trying small batches made in one gallon jugs. What is so awesome is that it is stupid easy and pretty damn inexpensive. The only "expensive" ingredient is honey, and you can get wicked exensive honey, but you don't need to. My first 3 gallons here cost me <$5 a gallon. (ETA: each gallon of mead cost me about $5 per gallon in supplies)

And for time, shit. I had my very first gallon made in about 15 minutes. Now it's just sitting and fermenting. Like I said, stupidly easy.

My brother brewed beer for a while and I helped him. It was a big PITA IMHO. Nothing against anyone who makes beer - keep doing it and trade me for some mead!
Like others wrote, spare time, spare $$ and hobbies have to be balanced.
