Mead

...which is filled to the bung hole, with a little over spill place barrel in a moderately warm place with the bung left out...Every day foam escaping from bung hole should be skimmed off. In the mean time a piece of cheese cloth and a pan or cup should be inverted over bung hole to keep debris & bugs out...Once 2nd fermentation is complete strain through cheese cloth into clean barrel, insert bung into bung hole...


LOL

FUGIE>>>
You're baiting me. Intentionally setting me up! I'm beginning to think you're making up these recipes just to yank my chain!

Actually I've had mead before. German mead, Greatgram called it mit I think.

If it's good for ancient Druids,
runnin' nekkid through the wuids,
drinkin' strange fermented fluids,
it's good enough for me!

Hmmm. No pike or walleye around here, lakes aren't cold enough I suppose, although Kinkaid Lake in So. IL does have some walleye. Are sunnies like bluegill? Panfish or whatever they're called? Or crappie? I've got some ocean fish, grouper, red snapper, and some crappie and bluegill, who knows what else is down there!
