Mead Making Classes

[mikekn]

There will be two mead making classes held at my house in the next couple of weeks.  The first will be on Friday, October 29th beginning at 7 PM.  The second will be on Tuesday November 9th, also starting at 7 PM.  Directions can be found on the shire website.

If you'd like to start your own batch during the class you will need the following:
- A container for the mead, best is a 1 to 5 gallon glass jug/carboy, or a brewing bucket.
- Honey, 3-4 lbs per gallon of mead you want to make.
- Water (if you don't like my tap water)
- Yeast, I've been recommending Lavin 71B to start with.

I can pick up yeast and jugs/carboys for people, but I need to know a few days ahead to do it.

This sounds very cool, but alas, I will be in a car heading to Vermont. Still, Prudence is holding a class on cordials tomorrow night in Moorestown NJ, specifically for chocolate cordial. Not period, but extremely yummy.

Have a good trip!

Yep, I saw Prudence's post - I'm on the Iron Bog list :) Sounds great, but my Thursdays are completely booked.
