Jesus Pat, 100 proof only? What's it like when someone comes over for a drink and all you have is nail polish remover?

Oh ****, I should start making some wine immediately. Thank you for the excellent idea. Let me know how the hibiscus juniper black tea mead comes out! Sounds incredible, might turn out to be, like, a refreshing mead? Time will tell.

After I get this burner batch done, I'm going to try to make a sweet, high ABV golden mead, using extra honey and periodic nutrient supplements to keep the champagne yeast going, and let it brew until Samhain (Pagan household, I know, don't make fun of me lmao), and then backsweeten it with more honey or with apple juice. I just want some **** that really feels like fantasy D&D tavern grog and knocks you on your ass near immediately!

Thanks! I really like the costume and set design in Star Wars so it was fun trying to emulate it, it's a big inspiration for me even if the movies themselves kinda suck.

Certainly sounds like no one stopped CD Projekt from being as weird as they wanted for Witcher 1

Hey Ry, I'm making mead too right now oddly enough. You should totally put in raisins, blueberries, and orange slices (peel included) for a nice fruity flavor. Also, not that this really matters, but mead with fruit in it is technically called a melomel. Very pretty word I think.

Here's hoping both of our mead batches go well!

It's mostly been Dragon's Dogma for me. I find it a little more engaging than the Witcher.

I grew up around some Mennonites; it seems they're very fast-and-loose with how intense their traditionalism is. I knew a girl who brought home a new boyfriend every week, but her Mom wouldn't even wear pants for fear of angering God. Have you gleaned much from living near them? Is it like a "you choose how traditionalist you want to be" situation?
