You are 90 percent more likely to buy red wine if you buy onions & more the wine industry has learned about you: http://bit.ly/brPFFg Follow Washington Winemaker on Twitter. |
For those that don’t know, the Digest has been a great source of mead making information. I’ve read it for years, and I’d hate to see it go. Still, Dick Dunn, “the Digest janitor” as he likes to call himself, makes a good point:
it’s wrong to hold out the MLD as a potential resource for new meadmakers, and then not deliver the goods. There are 12 new subscribers just since the last digest, who’ve seen absolutely nothing. And the digest content has been falling year-on-year since 2005
Dick’s announcement triggered an outpouring of support, and he agreed to keep it going for now. The only question now is, will we get meaningful traffic. I don’t know how (or when or if) this story will end, but I just want to say thank you Dick for providing a great resource!
Also of interest to mead makers
Got Mead is the largest mead making forum I know of.
If you could only buy one book on mead making, it would have to be Ken Schramm’s The Compleat Meadmaker
My own Simple Mead Recipe is a great way to get started making mead.
