- Episode 182
So, last episode it was a pharmacist that got it started, this week it’s an IT specialist who after 20 years, gave up his desk job for a hydrometer. Meet Kevin Martin, head fermenter for Good Road Ciderworks in Charlotte, North Carolina. An award-winning brewer, meadmaker and cider maker, he also specializes in braggots, a category of mead we try to bring to the front burner here at the House. Christmas is almost here (don’t talk to JD about it, he’s still wondering what happened to Halloween!). Gift ideas, Jeff leads a discussion about gift ideas using your brews, and we wrap the show with questions from the Social Club.

“DIY has never gone out of fashion, but in the last few years we’ve seen a real revival in this area. What started in 1972 as a pharmacy and drugstore has grown over a few decades into Europe’s most highly specialized wholesaler for products for making your own wine, beer, liqueurs or dairy products.” Meet Bart Balis in this episode. He is the son and CEO of the founder of Brewferm, Frans Balis, and he is here to talk to us about an amazing product that could change the way we make braggots. Well, maybe not change but certainly adds a new dimension. In our second segment, to secondary or not to secondary, that is the question, and we wrap the show as always with a few questions from our Social Club.
