Mead Making Class!!

The LONG awaited arrival of this year's Mead making classes is finally here! READ THIS WHOLE THING BEFORE PAYING.

This year we are upgrading and changing a few things. In the past we kept this class as simple as possible while still offering the chance for you to make the highest quality Mead. This year we have made several changes to the equipment offered to add only a few minor steps BUT will increase the ease and speed of your very own excellent quality drink.

The second exciting change is one that has been requested for YEARS. We are allowing you to choose the size of the batch you'd like to make. In previous years we stuck with one gallon batches (Roughly 4.5 bottles yield) but this year we are allowing you to pay the difference to increase the batch size to FIVE GALLONS. A couple cases of home made Mead would make the holiday gift giving season extra easy to cover, just saying!! Or just keep it all and drink it. We don't judge.

Lastly, This won't be a Honey-Only Mead like in previous years. For the very first time we will be creating a Cyser! Apple Meads go WAY back into history and are about as popular as can be even today. Not many things better during a cold winter day than a hot Cyser and the only thing that makes it better is when you've made it yourself!

Covered with your ticket:

ALL of the equipment and Ingredients to make either one gallon of Apple Mead (Cyser) OR five gallons of Apple Mead (Cyser).

Instructions for steps both completed at the Meadhall and the few required steps for after you take your batch and equipment home.

A three hour class teaching you all the basics and helping you get your batch mixed and fermenting by none other than Jon Oppegaard, the owner and Head Mead Maker of Oppegaard Meadery.

Mead and Cheese pairing!!

The idea is simple. The result? WILD. Put a Cheese and a Mead together and see what results! If you've never done something like this prepare to have your mind blown! Some pairings create wild new flavors while some reduce the intensity of some cheeses while others change the existing qualities in totally unexpected ways!!

Included with your ticket will be 6 hand chosen cheeses and 6 hand chosen Meads to go with each. We will walk you through a journey step by step while engaging in the ancient tradition of story telling anecdotes and fun facts about each pairing!
