Rating: - Excellent book
I found this book to be very good. It covers the making of meads including: sack, metheglin, melomel, pyment, and braggot. Includes in bottle carbonating technique. It covers selecting ingredients and equipment and discusses all aspects of the fermentation process. It also includes a history of mead making. Has some technical information on the chemical composition of honey.

Best resource for mead making that I have found so far.

Rating: - Mead Making Bible
I've been brewing beer off and on for over 10 years now, and was interested in making mead. While on my quest for knowledge I kept hearing about this book by Schramm??, on all of the brewing forums. I finally got The Compleat Mead Maker and was thoroughly suprised and happy at how much information was packed into this wonderful book. It gives a history of mead, some basic recipes and alot of other valuable information for someone looking to brew up mead.

Rating: - Comprehensive guide for a beginner Meadmaker, and beyond
I was impressed with the book from the get-go. A good history of honey and mead to start with, and an excellent guide to producing your first batch. That is just in the first, say, 30 pages. The rest continues with valuable advanced recipes and techniques. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in making their own mead.

Rating: - Valued Information!
Highly informative. Packed with useful information and definitely worth every single penny spent even if just as a reference. The charts are very useful and although the ingredient detail of the book is a bit overwhelming its useful. The majority of the book does focus on ingredients vs. mead and in some ways seems to lack cohesion in bringing the subjects together.

Some people have complained about lack of recipes which makes absolutely no sense to me because if you have read the book cover to cover he has given you every bit of knowledge needed to make any combination of mead you can think of! Some of the information is a bit more opinion than fact, but the vast majority is very well researched and very well developed into text. His 20+ years of experience does show. Its very very useful to have on hand and truly inspiring!

For extensive recipes "making wild wines & meads" is a useful book to have on hand, with both books you could truly gain all the knowledge ... Read More

Rating: - A must-have for your mead library
Fascinating book, covering the history, how-to and recipes of mead making. If your library space or budget only allows for one book on mead, this is it.
