I have lifetime so I am not paying to renew. I don’t max on allocations or anything but I am also okay with a significant portion of my cellar being mead. I buy lagers and pale ales to drink fresh and pull mead out of the cellar when I want some.I gave up my Schramm’s the year after we moved and I realized I had close to 80 bottles of mead. I also flat out forgot to renew but probably wouldn’t have regardless.
Might need to drink a bottle or two this weekend.
