A new challenger arrives.

I’ve recently become aware that one of the Sprouse twins decided to make his own mead, and am now convinced my ideas are being stolen by the world.  Damn you “the government”. You thought stealers, don't you just hate that feeling when you think of something then it feels like out of no where everyone else is doing it. In all faire was to the sprouts guy though he was doing it long before me. Look I’ll be honest I don’t know if it was Zack or Cody I can’t tell them apart even with names. Although I’m a bit relieved to see he focused on the wine aspect of mead as I was planning to market it and focus my brew more in a simple pint style or beer bottle drink. I’m not planning to make it to sweet just a bit sweeter then most ales. If it’s too sweet at that point I may as well just be drinking fruit juice. I definitely want a flavor profile that focuses more on the bitterness with some sweetness thrown in to make you look forward to the next sip rather than fear it. For now I’m going to wait for my next check to come in before I order the supplies I’ll need to start brewing. Also for now I’m putting whiskey on the back burner as I tackle mead for the next three months. I will still be learning about whiskey but it won't be front and center till I've got the mead crafting process down pat. Ok so for now after looking into the process it seems there's two ways I can go about this. I can just stick to using honey for traditional plain vanilla mead or I can add sweeteners along with it like fruits. Personally I don’t know which direction I’ll head in but for now If I do decide to head down the sweeter route I’m considering strawberries or cherries seeing as to how they are my favorite fruits. Personally I’m kinda interested to try other people’s meads as well. I think when I order my supplies I’ll probably order some meads, might even give that “Sac” and Cody wine a try. For now though I’m just mostly looking up other people’s videos and reading articles about how it's made and the different processes, It’s honestly agitating only being able to imagine rather than try it myself. Till then I’ve also decided to try something a little different for this blog I’ve decided between some of my entries to give my thoughts on some alcoholic beverages. I’ve always had an interest in marketing and advertising so I figured why not use this opportunity to give it a go. I’m going to start giving my thoughts not just on the drinks but also on how they sell it. Then I’ll talk about what I would do in there place. I know they probably don't give a damn about my opinion, but I'm gonna give it anyway cause fuck them this is America. I raise a toast to the next time we can drink together.
