11-13-18 Ryan Carlson – Creating Mead Recipes – Part 2

11-13-18 OK, so recipes are taking longer to do than we had in one show, lol. Last show we went down multiple rabbit holes of mead making ideas from questions from the chat gang, so we're back this week with Recipes, Part 2. We promise to stay on target this week. No, really! Making mead is as simple, or as complicated as you'd like it to be. And recipes are the same. Making mead is like cooking, only liquid. So the flavors you like, the flavors you want, that is your basis for creating the bomb mead recipe. But how to do that? What tools and processes can you use to make this easier? Are there some base ideas to start with, other than honey, water and yeast? All this and more tonight, when we talk recipes with Ryan. Come on and join us! Click the chat link below to join us live, and ask questions for Pete! This player will show the most recent show, and when we're live, will play the live feed.
