Welcome to GotMead?

That's not a question, it's a statement!

I don't do the SCA either but I likes me coconuts (and the watery tarts holding swords. Oh! and the oral sex!) and what took you so long to become a computer geek? Remember the VAX PDP/11? And ADVENTURE? that morphed into ZORK?

So what styles do you like/have done/have tried?
 
What took me so long?

I am a yute! (ala My cousin Vinny)

My dad an engineer - had an Atari 400(k) which I programmed graphix for at 9?

Next an Apple IIe

then an 8808 clone

then a 286

I ran a Mac lab at University of N. Colorado in '88 - had to boot 24 cpu's individually by floppy each morning; then checked-out software to the masses on floppy(s) like Word.

No Disk drives - no Netwerk.

Time-sliced college mainframe with early unix/bsd.

Work noe in Java, C# C++ PERL shell script DHTML HTML

Only hell for the damned.

Nice to Mead you. (Bad Pun)

Greetings all,

I'm fairly new at the Mead brewing. I brewed one batch and it did not turn out so well, it ended up going down the drain. The second batch I started a little over a year or so ago and it has been in its secondary for approx a year now. I'm currently deployed to Iraq and had my wife send me a picture of my carboy, there is still water in the airlock but there is approx 6 in of head space. Should I be concerned about waiting another 4 months before I bottle it?
