7-002: Mango Chili Mead

Oh yes! I took a break from the dissertation to brew another batch of sweet, sweet mead. I decided that I needed to try to make a mango mead with a smokey New Mexico chili pepper finish. I don't know why, that just sounds good to me. Mangos are tricky with mead, I hear. I have never before tried to brew with it. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Here's the recipe:

7-002
