Sima isn't mead if it doesn't use honey

well, it's a matter of terminology. sima is translated as mead, but sima doesn't have to made with honey. mead however nowadays means all kinds of alcoholic beverages made with honey, even honey wine which we don't consider sima at all.

sima = mead as far as it can be translated. we also make mead without honey, deal with it.

I have a friend who makes mead all the time he's kind of a giant nerd, but he's alright. Are you him?


Sometimes he makes mead with like fuckin cayenne peppers in it and it's hot as gently caress and makes you drunk and poo poo yourself, if you're him maybe stop making those ones.

Just say sima if you're making sima there's not an English word for sugar wine but there sure as poo poo is an English Wikipedia page for sima.

yeah fair enough, we're all world citizens here. mead is the closest translation but i guess the english speaking world isn't ready for cane sugar mead yet.

nah it's really good, altho the recipe i posted tastes worse the longer you ferment it. you can add hops to it too, if you want some bitterness.

it can be done faster than a year, the reason people stopped making mead is because honey is expensive

yes but legally there's requirements for what can be called beer, otherwise you have to call it 'malt liquor'
