Tonight we’ll be talking with newer meadmaker Stewart Jacobs. Stewart is in the Seattle area. We’ll talk techniques, recipes and mead making in general.

Stewart is an aerospace engineer in the Seattle area who has been making mead in 5 gallon batches since 2016. He has made at least a dozen unique batches with a variety of different additives since starting. He currently has a smoked apple mead awaiting bottling and has two unique batches in storage which he made after the birth of each of his kids.

Stewart wants to dig into a bunch of things, like:

  • preparing your honey
  • best practices for caramelizing honey
  • Figuring out the appropriate amounts of fruits and herbs in a mead to have good balance
  • How to make braggot
  • Adding nutrients – best practices for timing
  • Yeast strain recommendations

We’ll have a good time talking with Stewart and trading mead making info tonight!
