Karl Stückler - Mead Honey Wine Preparation / Book

The best of the bee. Mead, one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in existence, is experiencing a renaissance. Honey wine is back in fashion these days and, like almost no other alcoholic beverage, is perfectly suited for home production.
It is known from the history of the Germanic peoples and from tales from the Middle Ages: mead, the legendary honey wine.
As legendary as the history of mead is—in past cultures it was considered the drink of the gods—mead is also well-suited for home production. In his book, "Mead: Honey Wine Making Made Easy!", author Karl Stückler, head of the Lower Austrian Beekeeping School and thus a proven expert on all things honey, explains all the steps from the raw ingredients to the finished product.
Thanks to numerous illustrations and sketches, even beginners can successfully produce their first mead.

Professionals, on the other hand, benefit from the useful tips on selecting the appropriate honey, information on legal regulations, explanations of potential errors in mead production, and precise descriptions of the essential processes for success, such as fermentation, residual sweetness adjustment, clarification of the mead before bottling, and ultimately, stable bottle filling.
Stückler boasts twenty years of experience in mead production; no one who wants to do more than just drink mead can ignore that.
