Wasn't sure where to post this and not sure why I haven't posted earlier about this because I kick the idea around myself.
On another forum I found out what other brewers were paying for wax to seal their meads with. Although I am a beekeeper when I melt my wax down I get a nasty mud puddle color out of it.
My mentor sells beeswax on ebay and it is a very nice goldish (little colorblind here) pure beeswax with a fantastic smell.
I think the color will complement my bottled mead very well and help with protection for long term storage.
So if others are interested in some pure beeswax for either sealing their bottles or making candles here is his ebay I.D. Honeychaser
He sells wax for $4/lb and the rate gets cheaper with the size of the order.
I beileive he has some pretty straight forward shipping rates that can go as high as 16lbs for the same price as shipping 1lb. I know he uses USPS to ship.
He is cathing up on orders at the moment and doesn't think he will have another auction up until Tuesday.
So something to keep in mind.
