Well last year on this forum someone was talking about bees and getting honey, well I thought that sounded interesting so I got me a couple hives from nucs, well they did really well, ended up splitting them up and caught a swarm and now I have eight hives. I couldn't take alot of honey because they are going to need it to get through the Iowa winter. I did get 43 pounds and was thinking about making some mead. Kinda weird how my hobby of cast boolits got me into bees because of beeswax for boolit lube and now my bees are getting me into homebrewing, I guess one hobby leads you into another. Ha. Well anyway does anyone make any mead and have any suggestions? I really like ginger so was thinking maybe making some with ginger in it also,but if you guys have a great recipe that you like lets hear it.
