In Intermediate Home Mead Making -Melomels: Adding Fruit, you will learn about melomels, or mead with fruit, ranging from dry-wine-like fruit meads to big “fruit bombs”. Does it make a difference if you add the fruit in the primary, secondary, or after fermentation? What about pectic haze – what causes it and what should you do about it? Starrlight will answer all these questions and more. You’ll also taste some examples of different fruit meads.

This class is $50 per person and $75 for groups of two. All class participants must be over 21! No exceptions. Register by Wed, Jul 8 to participate. This event occurs Sat, Jul 11, 10am-1pm at Starrlight Mead. If you are purchasing this as a gift, please let them know, and they will send a gift certificate for the class for you to present to your loved one.

This is an intermediate class, and attendees must have a basic understanding of home mead-making processes, equipment, and terminology, as well as have made a few batches of home mead. Although they love Joe’s Ancient Orange, it does NOT qualify as a mead-making experience!
