What we were drinking:
- Vicky – House Bear Brewing – Nursery Crimes – Strawberry, basil and citrus mead – this one was a medal winner at the Mazer Cup – I’ve kept it nice and cool since it came home with me from the MCI. The nose is a spicy honey note with undertones of citrus. The taste is honey and citrus, a bit acidic, with the basil coming in on the finish. This would be a refreshing summer mead.
- JD – Sap House Meadery – Vanilla Bean
- AJ – Orange Blossom from fellow GotMeader Curgoth’s very first batch
- Guy – Stars Fell – southern sweet tea mead – black tea, lemon juice, lightly carbonated
Links for Episode 18:
- Kamasumatra mead from Moonlight Meadery (coffee mead!)
JD’s Rube Goldberg meadmaking toys
