I started making mead when I was renting a single bedroom, doesn't require that much space really.

You're right — I think it's more the frequent moving home that's holding me back. I just want stability

You don't have to age it, mine are usually ready to drink a month or two from when I start making it.

That's super interesting, because with mine, it definitely made a huge difference. It honestly tasted pretty bad before it had aged at all, and it didn't taste much better after 3 months. It was drinkable after a year, but still not great. After 2 years though, it was one of the nicest alcoholic beverages I've ever tasted.

I wonder what caused such significant differences between our experiences. Do you have a particular recipe you use? Not because I want to compare methods — I wouldn't be able to find whatever guide I followed. Rather, it sounds like whatever strategy you used gets drinkable mead far quicker than whatever I did

Perhaps we have different standards, after all I will happily drink a pint of scrumpy
