To get the malt/hops/carbonation level just perfect requires quite a scientific touch. Some of the best brews I have made are my meads (some are in the bottle since '99, and it drinks like velvet) and some crazy wines (blueberry wines gathered from local blueberry bushes and my grandfather's recipe for dandelion wine -- which doesn't taste great but will most definitely knock your socks off). The mead, however, is the best. The only problem with mead is the amount of time needed to sit in the carboy, and the amount of time needed to sit in a bottle. The bigger problem is that once you drink it, there is no more.
