A new author.........

I started this blog as a record of my home brewing efforts.

It happens, that through my mead making efforts, I've got to know Keith Hardesty. Initially I met up with Keith through a wine making forum.

Since then, it's been a case of a weekly conference call/video conference. It depends on what's available as I'm on the south coast (UK) and Keith is in very rural Oklahoma.

He's a good bloke and he has some brilliant ideas of ways to make meads of various types, so after we chatted about "spreading the message" we decided that as a convenient outlet, he should also post here and make it a bit more international and open.

I'll be more than pleased if he posts some of his methods, techniques and enthusiasm here as it'd save me trying to post them ;-)

Others in the mead world may have already heard of Keith as it seems that he's been around the online meadmaking world for some time.....

Brilliant! Go on Keith, get "scribbling".......

Oye Fatbloke; this was wonderful but undeserved fanfare. We share a passion for the culinary arts and it's proper libations. So let's carry on in the finest traditions, and encourage others to join us.

As my first adivce to one and all is...this is all academic. In a dynamically improving industry, we must evolve. Whether new equipment or old methods we must strive for improvement. Balanced, better taste, less fuss and longer shelf life.
