WORKSHOP: Honey, Let’s Make Mead by Fran Freeman

April 13, 2015 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

- $55

So you may or may not be a Mediaeval Viking, but that should not stop you from enjoying your own home-made mead, one of the world’s oldest alcoholic beverages. Mead is made from a simple blend of honey and water, then fermented with yeast. Join urban beekeeper Fran Freeman as she leads a group through the making of a delicately-flavoured ginger mead with lemon zest from all-natural wildflower honey.

Fran will cover the terminology and history of mead, issues of safety and sanitation, and talk about hive products in the context of food security and declining pollinator health. Participants will learn about warming techniques, cooling, straining and pouring growlers, and using fermentation locks. Everyone leaves with 2-litres of mead-in-the-making to continue the fermentation process at home, simple instructions, and recipe variations for future mead-making adventures. Each participant will be provided with a reusable glass growler, fermentation lock and bung.

$55 +HST
