I am in Seattle, moving up to Everett next week though. 

Ambrosia is made down in the Tacoma area..  That is a pretty good local 
mead...

Hey Dave, our curiosity, I thought that ciders and meads were both  
made under a federal winery permit, so if you already have the cider  
permit, what other federal permit would you need?  Unless you are  
talking label approval? 

Thanks, 
Eric

Okay...so we started our Mead in August. A month ago, we siphoned it off 
(for about the 3rd time, I think) from 1 carboy to another. The stuff on the 
bottom was amazing-just all of a sudden one day, there was about an inch of 
sediment. Now we have this carboy with no schmutz in it at all. My hubby 
thinks we can bottle it now, as it seems to be still. I told him if we do, 
it's going in the cellar so in case we have an explosion it'll go down the 
floor drain....what do folks think?
