Intro to Brewing 1: Traditional Mead

Mead, melomel, honey-wine, delicious; whatever you call fermented honey it is undoubtedly a unique and popular beverage! Invented independently in cultures all across the globe, the ancient Scandinavians made mead a well-known alternative to beers and ales, drinking mead as a part of their long voyages and many rituals and celebrations.

Learn how to make mead in this surprisingly simple and fun class at the Manchester Makerspace! The process, while pretty easy, will take 3 weekends, some note-taking, a lot of patience, so come prepared!

All ingredients will be provided!

Students are expected to bring their own clean glass containers (preferably 16 oz or larger swing-top bottles) to the third and final session to take home the final product.

First session will be 3 hours, covering the steps involved in preparing the fermenting vessels and the honey mixture. There will be two follow-up sessions on subsequent Saturdays, each about 1 hour, during which you will rack and then bottle your mead.
