See...
The Mayans are right. It isn't until Dec 21, 2012. ;D
So if anyone wants an "end of the world mead" that will be ready to drink by then, you need to get it started now so you'll time for a little aging.

The people who thought up the "I'll adopt and care for your pets after the rapture" Insurance Program have made out like bandits...
LOL!
ok, I have to type more. My wife doesn't like me laughing at these nut jobs. I understand respectikng religions but I can't help it on this one
You guys are missing the point! Everyone deserving of automatic salvation has been raptured... oh, let me see -- nobody's gone!!
;D
Next time one of these stories takes hold, I will make an end of the world mead recipe, designed to be shared when the one following that catches on. These seem to pop up every 5 to 7 years, from what I remember. Of course the mother of all of 'em will be this 2012 date - so that's gotta be a really special recipe!
;D

Yup! Kind of a "Rebirth of the Phoenix" theme will work for me - and my artist buddy will have a field day with the label art design!!

This is in truth a very deep, philosophical point. One in whish I wholehartedly agree.

... good point!
hrmmm, this sounds like a group brew IMO
Funnily enough, I did make a JAO batch on Saturday... I think I'll call it my Judgment Day JAO... ;D
It's a 2-gallon OB batch...

How's about this, no recipe or theme other than aging - we age until whenever the next apocalypse is (no tiny fringe cults either, just the big ones!).
That sounds like a really good idea. I might be a silent partner in that, I still have no idea how technically challenging the chocolate group brew's gonna be for exchange purposes
Or how about this -- a "Left Behind" theme mead for those of us still on earth after May 21st? ;D
Although I can laugh, I'm not poking fun or ridicule. Harold Camping has done this before, predicted Judgment Day will come in 1994. You'd think he would have learned the first time. I don't think he's a huckster like the Bakers/PTL, Jimmy Swaggert, and other noteworthy folk, at least, not according to the reports that have been surfacing so far.
I have a firm belief that irreverent humor is the best remedy for the excesses of this kind of thing. I used to be a ministerial canidate at Olivet Nazarene College/University, and in my day, there were a good number of us who were devotees of the old Wittenburg Door, a sort of Mad Magazine Christian publication, kind of between a magazine and a newsletter, bad typewriter fonts, poor editing with obvious typos, and all. Absolutely hilarious. Mike Yaconellli and co would have been tasteful and polite, then let it rip.
Hehe -- Ancient Joe's CW mead would be a good end times recipe. Quick, easy to make, and drinkable almost right away. A good mead for the End Times, the tribulations to follow? Something high octane?

Gee, I was thinking if the world is ending in flames, maybe a Bochet....
Umm...what's a Bochet?
Bochet is when you caramelize (burn) the honey first. There's a couple interesting threads from a few months ago if you can get the search engine to cooperate.
