A side project I initiated two years ago has finally born fruit.

Brendan, my brother-in-law, is a bee keeper.  2 years ago, I purchased the equipment and a Queen to produce a single hive, and left it to him to set it up and tend. 

The hive was set up on Kate's Mother's farm, which included a large number of apple trees, about an acre of sumac, and an indescribable number of wildflowers.  By the time August of 2011 rolled around, this hive had produced over 60 lb's of the most unique honey I'd ever tasted.

Part two of the plan was to get this honey over to my buddy Jason, a great home brewer of the first division.  He was flabbergasted by the amount and quality of the honey.

I left it all with him, and he brewed up what eventually became 15 gallons of mead.

One he left unflavored, the other two, he spiced with vanilla/cinnamon flavor the other, a pinch of cocoa.  Nothing overpowering, just a hint to augment the earthy, complex nature of the mead.

This last weekend, he finished up the bottling, and I can say that all three flavors are delightful.   



The split goes three ways – 1/3 to Brendan, 1/3 to Jason, and 1/3 to the visionary who put these two together and underwrote the project – that's me.  I'll be bringing some to Bonneville to share.

Very nice.

I hate to to change the subject, but is this dyno week?

No, I'm behind on that one - a few family concerns I need to address.  The plate is going to Fordboy this week, and I'm still trying to hunt down a used Chevy clutch disc - something there is no real excuse for - they're hardly rare.   

Don, I'll have some of this mead squirlled away for you.

[wisdonm]

Great. I've had some export Polygamy Porter sitting here for you.

[Tman]

Looks like a cool project!

Lends new meaning to the phrase: Busy as a bee!!

Hey. . ?  ?   Is this why bees fly like they are drunk?*!*?

Only partly. The other part is they can not fly dynamically. They were designed by the British. Possibly an ancient ancestor of Lucas.

Sounds like a beer that would be popular in Salt Lake City.

It's brewed there

Given that the Utah state flag has a beehive on it, I'm surprised there isn't a larger availability of mead in the state.

Wayno - what's up with that?

Utah has 5 wives Vodka as well.
