to Jimmy:</b> "On October 14, 1978, President Carter signed House Resolution
1337. Senate Amendment 3534 to that resolution called for equal treatment of home beer
brewers and home winemakers. This law allowed that brewing up to 100 gallons per adult or
up to 200 gallons per household per year w!
as permitted for home use. The amendment was proposed by Senator Cranston of California,
Senator Schmitt of New Mexico, Senator Bumpers of Arkansas and Senator Gravel of
Alaska." Read more at: <a

alt="National Mead Day Picture"></a><strong>National Mead
Day</strong>: National Mead Day was celebrated with vim and vigor in St. Paul, MN
this past Saturday as some 23 people gathered to sample 37 meads. Commercial meads
included the likes of Xtabentum (Licor de Anis y Miel de Abejas), Brother Adam's
Bragget Ale, Lindisfarne and Moniack (Dark) - to name just a few. The most striking aspect
was the quality of the home made meads. Thanks to everyone who participated and a special
thanks to those who brought libations and food. Equally aMAZEing is that five mead makers
made six batches of mead: two batches of the official mead day recipe, cherry melomel, and
batches of cranberry blossom, raspberry ginger, wildflower, and mint blossom. In all, 32
gallons of mead were made. Mead making technique ran the gamut from pasteurization to the
use of sulfites to no san!
itation of ingredients. Some 1.6 trillion yeasts "pitched in" to make it happen.
