Before GotMead, before Google, before dang near everything, The Mead Lover’s Digest, an email list sent out on a regular basis, was *the* place to hobnob with other meadmakers and put out your questions, recipes and ideas. The MLD is no longer running, but GotMead is privileged to be the home of the archives. There is a ton of information here, but trust me, it’s worth searching around, there is SO MUCH value in the information these emails contain. You can practically document the development of the entire mead industry here, and see the progression in recipes, techniques and tools.

This is a precious gold mine, an Aladdin’s Cave of mead information. Dig in, and plan to set an alarm so you remember to come up for air!
