Ken Schramm petition to change TTB definition of mead
« on: September 12, 2013, 06:13:57 AM »
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.
