First time poster here and thought I'd say hi and Happy Thanksgiving!
I found this e-book sometime ago and thought y'all might be interested. It's called "The Closet of Sir Kenelm Digby Knight Opened" and is a cookbook of 17century English recipes including a ton of mead and metheglins of the time. It's available as a free download from Project Gutenburg at

Some of it is difficult to understand (and at times very humorous) due to the 400 year language gap but it's interesting to read.

P.S. Waldo, I'm planning on starting a batch ofblueberry melomel in the next fewdays.Seeing your post gave me the kick I needed to get it going.
