When one think of a honey batch, one im-"Mead"-iately thinks of potency. With this batch, there is no exception. I have made this batch, thinking there was something missing to give it the kick it deserved. The solution, MORE HONEY!! The trouble was naming the batch. I decided to name it after a fictional chess strategy and a very dear friend of mine. Hopefully you will enjoy this as much as I did. Bill Webber "Would?" Brewing Co. Hagerstown, MD
