11-1-16 – Our show tonight gets us together with Erik Newquist of Aesir Meadery in Everett, WA.
Aesir is all about creating small batch meads using sustainably produced ingredients from the local area, and they’re distributed all over Washington.
Erik is himself a microbiologist and chemist, and has experience in engineering, so we’re looking forward to hearing more about his outlook and process.
Join us as we chat with Erik about the meadery, his interesting techniques, and what he sees happening as the mead world expands.
Join us 9PM ET tonight! (8PM CT/7PM MT/6PM PT)

Show links and notes
- Want to clear your mead faster? Add your bentonite in primary, *before* adding yeast, and your mead will clear faster at the end as the CO2 pushes the bentonite into solution
