Neal asks about a mead yeast that will result in a sweeter mead: 

Yeast Labs makes two mead yeasts - a dry mead yeast and a sweet mead  
yeast.  I have not used either of these. 

I have used ale yeast for mead and had good results: 12# clover  
honey resulted in a medium sweet traditional still mead.

Ha, got you all beat, and it was so obvious I don't know why no one else came 
up with it first.... 

The recipe book will be called the Bee's Lees 

lees is a technical brewing/fermentation science term meaning 
"the settlings of liquor during fermentation and aging" from Websters 
New Collegiate Dictionary. 

I say *will* cause I thought this up with Joyce last night and she really 
liked it (OK so it hopes ot have an in with the author :-) 

 
        JaH 

PS for all you Ren & Stimpy fans lees is only a few words away from Lederhosen 
in the dictionary :-)
