Mead Making Workshop with Marissa Percoco

 

Delve into the ancient art of mixing honey–the nectar of the flowers of plants gathered by the bees–with local fruit, flowers,

roots & herbs to create divine expressions of beverage bliss. This hands-on event will guide participants through the process

of harvesting ingredients and preparing them for the mead, discussing basic qualities of flowers, fruits, roots, etc. & how to

handle & use them. Then we’ll blend these things together with water & honey, feeding the wild yeasts, to create the

beginnings of a most delightful beverage! This is an introductory class, so we will briefly discus ratios of sweetener, the

qualities of various sugars, & have an overview of wild & cultured fermentation. We’ll end with a brief discussion on racking,

bottling & storing your brews while sampling a few lovely examples of fermentation and alchemical magic!

More information coming soon!
