9-19-17 We’re continuing our series on Making Modern Mead. We talked yeast for the last two weeks, and had lots of great info from Ryan, and lots of great questions from the listeners.
Now we’re moving on to staggered nutrient additions, racking, stabilization and aging. There is a ton of info here, and we’re going to dig into it and see what we can get out there.
Mead is a science, and knowing the basics means being able to make better mead, and gives you the ability to deepen your knowledge and make great mead.
Join us for GotMead Live Chat, on Skype, live during the broadcast!! You can join us here: https://join.skype.com/sOgoU06hcV7s during the show, and we’ll pass along questions to the guest, and answer your questions!
