i. e. meadOooh, what's your recipe?
Water, honey, yeast. I vary the honey, since it takes on some of the flavor of whatever the bee hive is near (like and orange grove or raspberry bush). The yeast I usually use is wine yeast, although they do have mead yeast. And if I want some stronger flavor and different color, I'll soak fresh fruits in it for about a week.
Man, that's some f+#@ed up shit, that is.

Yes Please! :)
I don't know what you all are talking about.
Afternoon guys :)
Hello, hope it see's you fine.
*DSX dances around after a(nother) day of dithering*
Sadly no gaming for us this week, except for the last Hollows session on Monday. Too many schedule conflicts over the past few days, so Kingmaker got cancelled.
We'll be picking it back up Monday though, more schedule conflicts next week caused the games to be flipped but thankfully no cancellations.

What proportions of water to honey?
Dwójniak <uh dvooyniak?> (Doubler): One liter of mad to one liter of water. Goodies. Usual fare when bought or made.
Trójniak <trooyniak> (Tripler): Two liters of water per liter of mead. Meh but cheap.
Czwórniak <tchvoorniak> (Quadrupler): Three liters of water per liter of mead. Pointless. Really, who would make it anyway?
I heard that some folks experiment by adding vodka or even spirit to the mead during production but I am not sure about the exact proceedings or results.
Wait, what hour it is? What happened with three hours since just after midnight?!
Ah, we just switched to the @#$%!&* daylight saving time. It explains one hour and remaining two I could happen to pass while "just checking" a few things on my LOTRO characters.
Damn that man one less hour to make more submissions for Wayfinder.
Wait, what hour it is? What happened with three hours since just after midnight?!
Its 11pm here.. I fell asleep. Only meant to nap for an hour or so.. so tired tho.. busy week.
I always mean to nap for an hour or so. And then I wake up two to four hours later, groggy and dizzy.
Hm, Pacific Time is 9 hours later than mine. Which means that I can send submissions until Monday morning. Maybe I'll go to sleep now.
Three hundred words more needed on third monster.
Three hundred and fifty more on first.
Fourth, fifth and sixth monster require 750 words each... I.e. not started yet.
Ok, nighty-nighty.
No sunlight behind the window.
Huzzzah!
Vegas in 8 days! :D
Look me up!
Skyrim and Facebook tonight.
I don't know. I'm thinking about changing my moniker to Vegas-Style Blue Dragon...?
Happy Easter and Pass-over everybody.
Huzzzzah!
goooooood morninng FaWtL
HAPPY EASTER !

I usually make mead in 5 gallon batches. For that you use 15 pounds of honey (about 6.8 kg). I vary the amount of water I initially use to dissolve the honey into, but always end up topping it off to 5 gallons.

Then around the beginning of May you must either: come visit me in Philly, or kidnap me (and the mead) and bring me to (South?) Carolina.

For those who have ever been interested in mead-making and/or brewing in general I recommend two books:
- The Complete Meadmaker by Ken Schramm
-The Complete Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Papazian
The first book is strictly about making mead. Lots of good info, especially on my preferred, no-heat method.
The second book is like a bible for homebrewers. I consider it the essential book for anyone who wants brewing as a hobby. When I bought my copy a few years back it was on the 3rd edition. Not sure if a newer edition has been put out since.

You might want to try add less water and more mead. Just saying. Półtorak requires long fermentation time, however. In fact if you make batch now you will have the time to brew it, test it how it went, start another batch and then drink the final result together with Charlie.
I am no brewer myself, however.
Just remember - you love me all.
Love? Who said anything about love? It's not what we paid for...
My morning so far has consisted of poop (not my own), coffee, and (soon) biscuits.
So, poop, poop, and (depending on the biscuits' source) poop?
Happy Easter, everybody!
Any big plans for the day?
We'll be having Easter dinner with my wife's parents, and I'll be finishing up my monster(s) for Wayfinder.

The usual with the kids, egg hunt and all. And tonight some hunting for a runaway noble daughter in an extradiminsional realm once inhabited by the drow before their fall. Now it's overrun with undead and the brave orcs trying to take it back in the name of their renegade handmaiden of Lolth, who now hopes to return the dark elves to their original "glass elf" state.
