7:30 PM Presentation Begins

About the presentation:
This meeting covers making melomels from honey, fruit juice, and frozen fruit. It is pretty much a can't-fail process for anyone familiar with the basics of sanitation and brewing. I will have some handouts with basic recipes. And there will be several products to sample.
About the presenter:
Patrick McCusker. I have been making meads and melomels since 2003; wine since 2008; beer since 2013; and cider since 2014. Most of my focus is on historical brewing (my wife and I are members of the Society for Creative Anachronism). I do occasionally enter products in formal competitions. I took 2nd place in the sweet mead category at the Mazer Cup International 5 or so years ago. And one year, I took 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and tied for 7th out of 35 entries in the mead division at the Iowa State Fair.
