Mead Survey Results

Many thanks to those of you that took part in the mead survey (see 20 December post in the 2012 Blog Archive). Here are the results:

  • 7 respondents liked mead
  • 2 didn't know because they had never tried it
  • Nobody said they disliked mead!

Admittedly only nine people took part in the survey and I suspect there was some self-selection which introduced bias, but nevertheless I was surprised by the results which have me wondering why this drink isn't more widely available.

Not that I need to worry - I've just racked my 2012 vintage and took the opportunity to have a little taste... the flavour is good but not as sweet as the 2011 batch. I'll leave the must in a cooler spot to finish fermenting and when the liquor becomes crystal clear I'll rack it into bottles. That's the easy bit.

The hard bit is I should wait at least a year before drinking it. What do you think the chances are I'll have opened a bottle by next Christmas?

Use the comment facility below to let me know.
