Today's hobbyists rediscover the simplicity of making mead while reveling in the range of flavors that can result. In The Compleat Meadmaker, veteran beverage hobbyist Ken Schramm introduces the novice to the wonders of mead. With easy-to-follow procedures and simple recipes, he shows how you can quickly and painlessly make your own mead at home. In later chapters he introduces flavorful variations on the basic them that lead to meads flavored with spice, fruits, grapes and even malt. "It goes by the name of 'mead' or simply 'honey wine.' Some call it 'ambrosia,' others nectar of the gods. By whatever name, no beverage serves as the focus for more myth and folklore than this romantic and resplendent elixir." Ken Schramm in The Compleat Meadmaker Ken Schramm has been making and studying mead since 1988. He has won numerous awards at national and regional competitions and has twice been given the honor of preparing the commemorative mead for the American Homebrewers Association national conference.
