Subject: Strawberry Mead Recipe? 

 
Greetings! 

I've got 33 pounds of strawberries ordered, and want to make some wine, 
mead, beer, or other with them.  Any recipes that work well would be 
appreciated, if you could submit them or e-mail them to me! 

Thanks much, 
Dave Hinz

Could you post the best of show recipe?  That choco-mint mead sounds very 
interesting!   

(by the way Dan - are you using QuickMail?)

Subject: some basic questions 

 
Now that I have brewed a few batches of homebrew, I like'd to try out   
making a batch of mead and have two questions: 

1. What's the best type of honey to use?  I read Papazin's Homebrew   
book and looked at the readme file for this list and they both talked   
about the various types, but I didn't come away with a good feeling   
of what the differences are. 

2. I'd to make a 1 gal batch and am think of using a 3 gal carboy as   
the fermenter.  Would 2 gals of headspace affect the mead or should I   
go looking for a good 1 gal container?  Do you need to leave blowoff   
space for the mead like you do for homebrew?
