Ahh... So you're the guy from the moving company we used. I wondered where you've been hiding. I still owe you one...
Good place to hide. Spent ~3 weeks there, and we decided that next time we pick ONE area and give it a week to a month as there are sooooooooooo many places that are hard to find and easy to get lost in.
I'm drinking beer like someone that has a problem. But to be fair, it's raining in the smoky mountains.

I just called my honey bucket connection (no it is NOT blue!), no answer left a message. I'm thinking about $150 or $175 this year. Lots of problems due to the fires this year...
I bought the Yacks Alfalfa & Clover honey myself and made a Traditional from it. Here is the brewlog: Essence of Utah 2014
So far it is just finishing up fermenting and degassing as I prefer the lazy method and let them degass themselves with shakes from me to help a bit now and then. I have been sampling them a bit and they are so far rather tasty surprisingly. They have a VERY mellow flavor, the aroma is lost for right now, a bit of yeastiness. But considering that they are sitting at .990 they are surprisingly not "cat's bum" inducing for me. I have some high hopes for them to be something light, dry and a bit tart. The alcohol flavors are not very pronounced so it seems to have done a nice clean ferment. I am not going to the high ABV% here either as I wanted something light and refreshingly crisp that would have the ABV to age a bit without me avoiding flames for fear of explosive potential.
I also only had five pounds of it left after the trip was done (flapjacks and honey are outta this world the way I make `em). Probably went through about 7 or 8 pounds of honey on a five week trip.
The flavor is so light and the aroma a bit grassy with light hints of farmland that I wanted to try and capture that essence, hence the name...

The Patron's area has some of the best recipes and most meticulous meadlogs you will ever see. Oskaar's recipes alone are worth the cost, and there are countless medal and mazer-cup winners that you can explore. Also, there are some in-depth threads that cover a lot of mead topics. Frankly, Patron's membership is the single best investment one can make to really move your mead crafting to the next level. It is also a great way to support GotMead and insure that we all have access to this wonderful community.
However, virtually everything one could want to learn can be found on the forums in the open area with a bit of searching.
