Holiday Cheers in a Glass - Our Fruit Cake Mead Masterpiece

This could be our BEST mead recipe ever on this channel. It took almost a year to make this video, and a lot of individual pieces, and a lot of testing and experimenting, but... we did it. It's pretty amazing really. Watching an idea unfold and expand into what you imagined is just a really cool thing, and we are very proud of this mead recipe!
