    I’ll be curious how it turns out.
    I’ve never made mead, so I’m intrigued.

    Have you looked into “skeeter pee” recipe? I’ve got ~22L of that fermenting currently.

      Never heard of it, but it sounds fun.
      I like mead because you can turn pretty much any drink into alcohol with it and the only specialized ingredient you need is yeast and sometimes nutrients. Everything else can be found at the grocery store. Turned some sodas (mountain dew being a classic, but also root beer), and fruit juices into mead, with mostly good results. Whereas ciders and wine requires the right kind of fruits, and I’m sure I’ll never do better than what is already on the market. The future is in weird drinks.
      But lemonade wine seems nice, maybe I’ll try it next.

      Actually, due to recent events I opened some orange bottles I had left and I was surprised with how the taste changed. I couldn’t discern the gatorade anymore. It is good, maybe better in some way, but I have a really hard time describing it. I really need to be more patient with what I brew.
