No longer than wine...

It takes awhile to age...gets better as the time goes by

Thanks Saltheart! Sorry I should have mentioned I should be good with the process since I have made wine and beer before. I was mainly looking for a tried and decent recipe. Thanks for the info!

Then you are all set because mead is lots easier to make than beer or wine. The bees did all the work. they provided almost pure sugar with built in preservatives and some flavor from the clover. The cranberry will overpower the clover flavor in this case.

Good Luck
