Re: Where to ferment??

any dark area like a cabinet / under a sink will do just fine - but like above said, if you can get it near the water heater, that would prolly work better (if it's not a gas water heater - just trying to be safe here).

Re: Need a straight mead recipe

I love to add cinnamon sticks instead of powder(i use the cheap brand at the Dollar Store), but cloves tend to give it a WANG for me. Start with a couple at first. I put 5 cloves in one time and it was just too much - the again, I'm not a big clove fan either :oops: .....Good Luck!
