Mead...

Bottle the Mead Thursday.  I am very happy with the Mead.  I turned out exactly as I thought it would.  I actually like it better than the commercial Mead I had last year.  It ended up a Semi-Sweet with an SG of about 1.012 and at about 11-11.5%abv. It is a nice balance between sweetness, acidity and Alcohol.  Very nice, but also very young.  It has only been 5 months since it was started.  After few months in the bottle it may actually improve a little more.  If it lasts that long.
