hist-brewing: ageing mead

[Mark Poliner]

There is no set time for aging mead.   It could be
anywhere from 6 months to over 2 years.  
Unfortunately the best way to judge the age of mead is
to taste it.  
There are too many variables, residual sugar, acid,
oxygen from racking/bottling, etc, etc. to give any
set timeframe.
