Does anyone know of any commercial meaderies in Wisconsin or Illinois? I am 
getting married in October and we would like to lay in a stock of mead for 
the reception. 

 
Thanx,

I am making a few batchs of sparkling mead for a wedding this fall. 
I once tried a sparkling lemon-ginger mead at a home-brew meeting and fell 
in love with it, and want to make a batch.  Does anyone have a recipe  for 
this ? 
Second question is on bottling a sparkling mead, I will be using champagne 
bottles, how much primer should I use(honey, not corn sugar) and how do I 
insert those plastic stoppers, or corks,  just hammer them in, an then wire 
them into place??? 

 Thanks in advance for any information.
