Actually, a little of both. Honey takes longer to ferment than sugar and it just seems to taste a lot better the longer it sits. Most mead recipes will tell you the same thing, the longer it ages the better it is. A really good web site for mead/honey wine is www.gotmead.com, they have great information on cysers, melomels, etc. I hope this helps! Good luck and happy brewing!

It does take longer for the yeast to get the honey going, and once bottled it gets better with age. I did one with the ez caps and one without. The one without will take about 6 months to age right. The ez caps will be really good in about 1 month. Thanks for the email! Hope it works out for you too. > exeterbass wrote:How long did you have to wait for the honey to dissolve in the apple > juice?
