The "Wassail Mead" recipe on Page 8 is more or less the one I use - although I use 15 lbs of honey instead of 12.5, since honey is sold in 5 lb containers here. So it's a little on the sweeter (and more alcoholic) side, but what's wrong with that? :)

btw, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, 1 gallon = 3.8 L

and it is VITAL that whatever container you store your mead in is completely sanitized and sterile, along with other apparatus you use during the brewing process. I once brewed some mead for six months only to have it turn into a septic wreck because the bastard didn't sanitize the hoses he used to siphon the mead from one container to another. Grr...

Mead rules. :D

drinking Wine is just as bad...it's really consuming rotten grape viscera.

Not too mention that some French use ox blood as a clarifying agent. Yum yum yum.

Nothing´s to sick for me, but I can´t stand bees or even worse their vomit called honey, rather I´ll let hundred men shit into my mouth :D

So I got bored and was looking at the Webster.com dictionary, and found this. Look at definition #3:

Main Entry: 1 com·merce
Pronunciation: 'kä-(")m&rs
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French, from Latin commercium, from com- + merc-, merx merchandise
1 : social intercourse : interchange of ideas, opinions, or sentiments
2 : the exchange or buying and selling of commodities on a large scale involving transportation from place to place
3 : SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
synonym see BUSINESS

So maybe "Fuck the Commerce" is a little redundant. :D
