I made a Cherry Mead so sparkling and delicious that I wanted to cry when I 'blew' a bottle trying to 'save' it-the proof is in the ceiling of my kitchen and across the breakfast area. (I had a feeling I shouldn't 'ha tampered' with the bottle!) anyway, now that I know what not to do I am absolutely fascinated with Sparkling and Still Cherry Meads. I will try again very soon since I have a workable-if slightly volatile recipe I made up-but I am obviously no 'expert' so I will only share it if I can get promises not to blame me if a bottle goes nuclear. I enjoyed your website and your 'twitter for windbags' headline really got my attention. Lisa Hi!

I've been writing a lot about how to measure it and how to adjust it. You idea for an article about why its needed and what can happen if you've got too much, sounds like a good idea. Erroll Hello Matt,

Glad you found me! I’ve been writing a lot about how to measure it and how to adjust it. You idea for an article about why its needed and what can happen if you’ve got too much, sounds like a good idea.

I found your page through google and have read quite a few of your entries. What caught my eye was your discussions on acid and how you deal with it. I come from a Cider background, have made nothing but cider thus far and was wondering if you could do an entry explicitly on acids and how they work for and against you...especially in the fruit/mead context. Also, i'd love to see some pictures of your 'wine closet' as I've got to go something about my carboys...winter is coming to a close and its going to start getting too hot in the garage! (im in the deep south) P.S.-couldn't find any contact info on your website. Is it buried somewhere? I've included my email with this comment if you would like to email me, I'd love to get a dialog going!
