I tried to make mead once. Didn't work out at all. I've also had no success making lager beer
Making wine seems so much simpler, if we are prepared to accept arbitrary flavour in the end product.
One of my most successful wines was Potato wine. Rocket fuel.
Coffee wine was a bit pants.
Regardless of whether this peach and mixed fruit wine works, I have about 10kg of mixed dried fruit to 'speriment with. Watch this space.
