The following are FAQs compiled by one of our resident experts on meads, Hightest. If you've been a follower of brewing forums and hung out in the mead sections very much, you've seen this name. Hightest was kind enough to pass along this compilation of links to his own FAQ pages and we thank him for it.For the benefit of those who may not know me, my name is "Hightest". My mead-making background goes back over two decades. Some of you may have seen my screen name on brewing forums such as: The Brewboard, WinePress, Got Mead, Northern Brewer, and More Beer. I was a mead forum moderator for over four years, organizing and managing several online group brews, and answering many brewing related questions.During those moderating days, I found forum members often asked common questions. When I realized how many times I answered these questions, I prepared some FAQs to save me a bunch of keystrokes.
