1-23-18 AMMA Speaker Showcase – Jeff Herbert – Expanding Production and Chris Kuzme – NY Fermentation Fest

1-23-18 We're continuing talking with AMMA speakers, and tonight we have Jeff Herbert, meadmaker and owner at Superstition Meadery, who is stepping in for Carlos Bassetti, who can't make it tonight.  Carlos is speaking at the conference about Superstition's leap from 60 gallon batches to 1000 gallon batches. He's also an amazing meadmaker, with some very unique ideas. We're going to get an overview of his talk, and then pick Jeff's brains on his mead making ideas and techniques. We're also going to have Chris Kuzme, who is putting on the NY Fermentation Fest, which this year will have several meaderies represented. This event is about all things fermented, so there will be beer, wine, mead, cider, saurkraut,  kombucha, and there will be all sorts of yummy food. Chris is going to tell us about the event. He's an excellent brewer, and has a brewer in NYC, and is married to Mary Izett, author of "Speed Brewing" who we had on the show back in August.   Listen in live below!!
