It is that time of year again. Mead Night. Once again we will be celebrating the art of mead making.
If you are getting this invite it is because I know you appreciate mead and/or make mead. If you know a mead maker or mead lover, invite them! Bring some homemade mead or commercial! Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido always has a great selection. Also bring a food dish, main course, appetizer, ect... Something tasty to fill our bellies.
At last years mead night we had about 60 different meads to taste!
I will also have over 30 different honey varietals for tasting throughout the night. Hope to see you there!

DESCRIPTION
Lets Cider More!
Join us as our resident cider expert, Brian Trout, walks us through a rundown on what we can do with cider once the fermentation is through, and how we can make a better product via blending, adding fruits & spices, and acid & tannin balancing.
We will provide the cider, as well as various fruits, flavors, tinctures, acids, and walk you through using and experimenting with them. In the end, you’ll get to make your very own blended, balanced and/or flavored cider.
We will provide some snacks and other palette cleansers to help you along with your experimentation.
We will be learning the “black arts” of cider making — Blending, Balancing, and Making Special Ciders — by doing it all in this class. Complexity, Acids, Tannins, Backsweetening, and Specialty Custom Ciders on the fly. Fun for all levels. – This is the follow up to those Cider Making Workshops.
