Merry Meadmas (or is that Meadmust?)! In Episode 25, we celebrate the holidays with audio from the multitude of mead masters we’ve had the fortunate opportunity to interview this year. You’ll hear from Ken Schramm, Brad Dahlhofer, Paul Zimmerman, Michael Fairbrother, Sergio Moutela, and Jeff Herbert. Topics include agave meads to make margaritas; the historical mead figures of Eva Crane, Roger Morse, and Keith Steinkraus; the acidity of honey and using acids for modifications; and using teas and hot peppers in making your mead.

There’s a lot here so get out your pen and paper to take notes! And don’t forget your AleHorn! Tysen tries his out in the episode, and has nothing but praise, well, except that he needs the extra large tankard for his fancy ice.
