3 1/2 months later I am drinking my mead!!!! I have transferred it to glass bottles, and it is in the fridge.
I have a full half gallon of plain mead. Actually, very tasty! I can totally taste the honey in it.
I have two more half gallons in waiting, one Vanilla, and one Cinnamon.
I may have to get some bees!!!

More necro posting.
You may like this simple recipe that is good and has some fruit flavors. I have made it more times that I can recall and I have tried adding in other things for flavor but I keep coming back to the original. The only change I recommend is to let it age 6-9 months at minimum. After 18 months it is amazing and keeps getting better. I had some that I added a fistful or two of blueberries and forgot about for 2 years. I am still getting asked if I have made any of that again. (I have but it never made it to two years old before drinking:) )

Went to a Meadery near my place. OMG - these people were artists! Still, with a container, water, honey and some raisons, I'm in business.
That recipe to showed was pretty close to what I did. I may work on getting some in a 6mo rotation, so that every 6 months I'll have a 1yr or 18 mo batch coming up.
