What is Cyser? A Mead or a Cider?
by Dana LeComteA modern take on man’s oldest fermented beverage. Cyser is Mead made with apples or Cider made with honey. Sometimes the honey is fermented with the apple juice and other times a Cider is made and is back sweetened with honey. Both beverages are referred to as Cyser but the taste of each is quite different. When the honey is fermented in it shows more in a soft, perfumed finish that turns brandy like with ageing. A back sweetened Cyser has more honey taste up front and a shorter, simpler finish.- Adam and Eve

How weather affects honey and the taste of new vintages.
by Tugwell Creek AdminDid you know that each vintage of honey is unique? Every year the bees can forage in exactly the same area and yet, depending on what the weather does, they will forage more or less on certain flowers. The outcome of this determines the taste of the nectar that is ultimately turned into honey by the bees. As a mead maker I find this fascinating.- Alcoholic Beverage
