My SIL sent me a message last night to inform me that she is having a surprise birthday party for my brother in November. She wants me to brew beer for the party. No problem. Then she asked a special favor. Her and my brother while in Australia had a very nice bottle of mead and asked if I could make a batch of that for him for the party. 6 months seems like a quick turn around. I have heard the JOAM recipe while unorthodox could be ready in that amount of time. Does anyone have a recipe for a "quick turn around" mead or is six months just not enough time? I know this wont be an award winner but I also don't want to give him rocket fuel.
