Big Book of Mead Recipes: Over 60 Recipes From Every Mead Style

What a great mead making book. Better than the first one I ordered. The author really likes making mead and it seems like he has an interest in sharing his knowledge so you, the brewer is successful.

The wife and I recently took up bee keeping and to use the excess honey we decided to expand our mead selection we keep. What better way then make it ourselves. The recipes are easily to read and understand. We have already put a few to use and they are currently aging.

There's some great inspiration in here for beginner and intermediate brewers. Overall, I'd recommend it as a resource. My only complaint is that it has a lot of hyperlinks, which obviously would be better in a digital version. They also recommend a fair amount of additives, so if you're into natural brewing you'll just need to omit those ingredients.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm a scientist, so I appreciate the necessity of learning all the ins and outs of fermentation, but it seems most books are just exhaustive reference books of the science, which is great if you want to know how to develop your own recipes. But as a beginner I just want some recipes to make which I'm pretty sure will turn out good, so gradually I can build my skill. After all, when many meads take a year or more to age, you don't want to start out with something completely experimental. This book is what it says it is, a recipe book. There are a few pages of critical information at the start, then the rest is recipes in different categories. This has enough recipes to keep me happy for many years, I'm sure. Thank you!

Plenty of neat and interesting recipes to try out!

Very impressed in two ways. The book itself is a mine of information on Mead and all things mead. Also the speed of delivery from Amazon. Delivered this morning direct to my home in Tasmania. Eleven days from order. Lightning fast for this end of the world!I am in admiration with the work the author has done in this book. The recipes universal by having an Original Gravity and Final Gravity( or Starting Brix and Final Brix.) rather than by weight of honey to use. The volumes are in US gallons. The variety is astounding showing that the author must have made a lot of mead over the years. I am sure that this title will be on every meadmakers bookshelf next to the Compleat Meadmaker.

This is, in my opinion, the best mead book out there and I own all I can find. The author has a method for making mead that is foolproof . It has just the right number of recipes and many links on where to find the necessary equipment. As I write this review, I am buying another book for a new mead convert !

What I was looking for wish there where more recipes. Great explanations as well.

Nice receipe

Being interested in making my own Mead I've not found a book with enough information and advice until when I came across Big Book of Mead Recipes, just released thankfully. The book gives you the story behind Mead and the equipment needed. Also, it has a lot of recipes to keep the new Mead makers among us and the more proficient Mead makers occupied for a long time to come. I'm already looking forward to making my first batch and trying it out with friends and family. The front cover is attractive and the text inside is clear and easy to follow. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to make Mead or is just interested in learning more about it.

Very well writtten. Plenty of different mead recipes, will be helpful for both a beginner and an experienced meadmaker.

Fast prompt delivery, item as described, highly satisfied with purchase!

Good book, but bear in mind that it is American. It does not make it clear until part way through the book where it refers to money in dollars and there is a measurement conversion page that states 1 gallon = 3.79 litres.Where us a UK gallon is 4.54 litres.There are other units/formula which Are not obvious with no explanation. So you end up googling to find out what they are. Ie sugar (g/L) x (N). Where (g/L) is grams per litre and (N) is Nitrogen. I’m not sure if it is necessary to know this, or just skip those pages.
