Not sure what that would be classed as dawg, but, it sounds nice ;-) honey is a rarity around these parts.

Im not surprised it tastes nice as the thickness in the honey, should add some nice mouth feel as well as sugar.

Yeah... Technically, I believe that a mead is defined as having at least half the total fermentables coming from honey. Any less than that and you cannot call the wine a mead. So, if the wine was say, 12 % ABV then at least 6 % of that alcohol must come from honey.
 
I have found that most folks have no idea what mead is. That being said, call it what you like. You have made it so it will wind up being whatever you name it. Think I would call it Hillbilly
Bank Bait. It will either help the catfish bite or leave you not caring if they bite or not.:h Arne.
 
ARNE you give my reason to smile and feel peaceful...
thank you

A mead with fruit is referred to as a melomel, a mead made with grapes is a pyment, a mead made with apples is a cyser, and a mead made with spices is metheglin.

And it is all good. Or just hand your buddy a glass filled to the brim and say"Here try this stuff." He says what is it. You say"I dunno, let me get my list." LOL, ARne.
 
whew, ok I'll have to write this down an pin to my wine room wall. thank you very much,
richard


Now Houndawg when you say "pin it to your wall", you are talking about real pins and real walls, right? None of this electronic crap!

My office walls are littered with little yellow Post Its...little formulas, passwords, part numbers....my wife hates it! If it is real important, it gets printed, and stuck on the wall or in a plain old fashion pocket folder. I got folders on rifles, scopes, archery, fishing, reloading, and some that just apply to work too!
 
I am from the pencil an paper days, when I say pin I push a little metal point thru the paper then into my wine room wall which is made outta drywall, I'll never forget when I heard kids were allowed to use a calculator in math class, I called that person a liar, then I got to eat my words, to this day how can you learn math if the calculator does the thinking instead of the brain, progress my well you know the rest of that i'm sure,, lol ,,
