The Mead House

We started out the show with a few facebook acknowledgments, then moved into a tasting session of a couple of JD’s meads. We also talked about steeping grains for use in meads. Enjoy the show!

We begin to explore beer on the show tonight in hopes of coming up with a Braggot mead recipe that incorporates the same ingredients in beer brewing. An avid listener, Brian Funk, gives us a call, had some questions on oaking and PH. Enjoy the show!

Episode 2 is about making a simple sweet mead for beginners. Starting with 20 pounds of orange blossom honey and 5 1/2 gallons of water, we step through putting this mead together. We will monitor this mead for the next few weeks on the show, and talk about where you should be in relation to time. This is a simple mead, the recipe is featured on our website. We also talked about stuck fermentations, how to recognize them and what to do in case you find yourself in a predicament.   Here is a link to TOSNA which was also discussed as an alternative nutrient addition.
