[mba] Mead Day Event

August 7th is AHA National Mead Day and the Minnesota Home Brewers Association will be holding it's August meeting at Midwest Supplies from 12-3.  We will be holding mead making demos and discussing new improved techniques to make this ancient beverage.  We will dispell the myth that you should heat your must and wait years for your mead to be ready to drink.  If you would like to make a mead or need help from experienced mead makers we encourage you to bring your equipment and ingredients.  The information that we will be covering is included in this handout produced for the AHA national conference by Steve Piatz http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/4795/Mead_Maker_of_t….  We will providing snacks and commercial examples of meads available in the Twin Cities for club members.  We also encourage you to bring any mead, beer, or cider that you would like to share with the club.  Experienced mead judges will also be on hand to give you feedback on how to improve your mead.
