I think you misunderstood the post. Everyone was polite and helpful in the thread, and @China_Guy’s the response was: > [@Fermentation and COVID](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fermentation-and-covid/942339/20): > > Tell hubby after he’s recovered that he can do mead experiments with Costco 5# mead at about $10/bottle. It’s pure honey and good for experimenting. Frankly, if you’re gonna add coffee, it will overpower and be a waste of the expensive as silver craft honey. he can prolly do a couple of _gallons_ of coffee mead for $20 once he gets the hang of it. He was _encouraging_ your husband to make coffee mead, and suggesting how he could possibly save money. He said you’re not going to be able to taste difference between expensive honey and cheap honey in coffee mead, so if you want to save money buy cheap honey. Nothing discouraging, nothing disrespectful, so I don’t know what you mean by ‘gatekeeper’. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-recommend-the-sdmb-to-your-friends-and-acquaintances/945765)._
