From: Christopher Hadden <chris(a)chadden.com> Date: Mon Jul 14, 2003 5:39:16 PM US/Central To: MBA List <mba(a)thebarn.com> Subject: AHA Mead Day - Sat, August 2, 2003 Mark your calendars for the second annual "Mead Day." I've registered my place as an official mead day site with the American Homebrewers Association. At 1:00 PM, we'll kick things off by making a batch of mead. The official recipe is a cherry melomel, or fruit mead. You can view the recipe at http://www.beertown.org/events/meadday/recipe.html . If you'd like to make your own batch on site, feel free to bring your gear and ingredients. I'll accommodate as best I can by providing cleaning supplies and filtered water. Please contact me if you have any questions. I'll provide beverages including a number of exotic commercial meads as well as my own home made meads and non-alcoholic beverages. I ask that you bring a snack to share. You are welcome to bring your own mead, especially if it's home made. While you're over, be sure to check out the latest book on mead making "The Compleat Meadmaker" by Ken Schramm. Quite simply, this is the best book ever written about mead and mead making. More information about the book is available at http://www.beertown.org/education/mead.html .
