Ken Schramm petition to change TTB definition of mead

Other Fermentables

I just came across this. I must say the current rule must have been written by someone who doesn’t understand mead.  It would be like forcing a brewery who makes fruit beer with malt extract to sell it as wine.

Done!

I don’t normally sign petitions but I did sign this one because mead has been a bit of an orphan between the beer and wine communities for too long. Commercial meaderies really should be allowed to call what they make what it is. I sure hope he can get the right people to change this!

After I signed it, I started getting emails almost every day from MoveOn.org  After I opted out they sent another email asking me if I was sure I wanted to opt out.  Yes I’m sure.

Gmail’s been sending mine straight to spam. I didn’t even have to tell it to.
