It has been in thereefer for a week or so. How long do you think a mead should be aged?I made it with the recipe in the ez caps instructions. Used a localbeekeepers honey purchased directly from him. He said it was agoldenrod time of the year (last fall?) and it does taste kind of spicyor strong by itself, but not a bad taste to me at all.To anyone making mead I would recommend the purchase from localdirectly as it is really cool to see how they do it, etc. Plus Mr.McAvoy is a nice guy.Gonna let it age for 2-3 more weeks or until someone tells medifferently. Then I will let you know how it turned out. I like mead.ORGINAL POSTER: tjenkins4162
