I found a source for bulk goldenrod honey in NC. Reading on the site I get the impression it is acceptable to use in large quantities, for mead, and imparts a potentially buttery flavour and a good deal of sweetness...
Any updates on goldenrod meads, or suggestions on use??? It will be a while before I tackle this, but I am attempting to ask questions before I start this time...
any reasons to avoid it???
I'm trying to get an idea of what honeys are available and most desirable.

unrelated question...
I haven't noticed anything about skimming the honey wort when making mead w/out boiling... I "simmered" mine and skimmed a little... is skimming necessary??? does it cause headache, etc... if you don't???
