[TheForge] blacksmiths and beer

Philip;

   I'm not sure everyone is drawing the distinction between,
"Distillation"... AND   "Fermentation".  Seems some comments are not
separating the two.  Perhaps you should again, explain the difference.
:o)
    I'm sure you know, natural fermentation stops at 14%, that's when
the alcohol kills the yeast. BUT...14% is a stiff drink, if you're
going to have more than a couple.   By the way... mead sounds a little
sweet for my tastes, is it fairly sweet?
