So whoever made that Meade, I've dubbed it the sound of music as it tastes of all of my favorite things!

I want that recipe - own up!

Brewed it last April. I wasn't expecting it to clear as fast as it did.

Hey Garry,

That was some real nice mead, probably the nicest I ever had.
Thanks for posting the recipe.
I was introduced to it as the "sound of music" yesterday many thanks Hingo.

Cheers fellas, I'm not used to getting good feedback  :P

This category isn't up on the competition website. Who placed 1st and 2nd? I saw a tweet from Tempted Cider saying that the quality of cider was very high this year.

It was 3rd over all from ciders Meade and fruit wines (so you're effectively did the best Meade)
