Ambrosia

I really enjoy simple things and life's simple pleasures. Some of the best things in the world are the simplest. As an example, I recently prepped a batch of mead in the fermenter. For the uninitiated, mead is a mixture of honey and water that is fermented to perfection. Typically around 8 to 15 percent alcohol by volume, mead is more similar to white wine than beer. It is an ancient spirit with a history that has been lost to time. It is sometimes called ambrosia, nectar of the gods and other over the top names. But it is seriously good.  

I mixed six pounds of wild mountain honey with two gallons of water and threw in a packet of Lavlin EC-118 yeast and some sliced ginger to add some interest.  I will provide an update on this in a couple of weeks.
