Hello all, :wave:

Once again Beer Beer and More Beer has agreed to host a mead day on Saturday May 12th from 10am until ???. Brian and myself will be teaching some classes and there will be plenty of drinking I mean sampling. Hopefully I am giving Oskaar plenty of notice to make it. I hope to see you all there.

B3 is located at 1506 Columbia Ave Suite 12, Riverside California

Hey Scott,

I'm still up to my ears in work and wine (Wine Production course through UCD) so I'm unable to attend. At the end of June I have a break, and then the next course kicks in from October though December, and then two more after that. Man, I'd love to be there. Please say hi to Rob and the gang and extend my regrets for not being there.

Aaron, Scott takes the bull by the horns in Riverside and works it out with Rob, the manager of the store there. I'm sure you could do the same with the folks there in concord. All you need is someone to do a quick demo on how to make a basic mead and ask your fellow mead makers to attend the "mead day" event. We generally barbeque sausages and such, and it is pretty well attended. Scott does a nice demo on mead making and everyone shares the mead they brought!

cheers,

Oskaar

I was at B3 in Riverside today because when I picked up my sweet mead kit last week, they forgot to give me the yeast. I *happened* to be standing next to Brian at the counter, and he mentioned these Mead Days. Any word on another one anytime soon? ;D

My work schedule has changed significantly so we may be able to arrange something with B3. We also have brew days here in Orange County at different member's houses and I do meads at the brew days. Last meeting we did a strawberry melomel that is going to be stellar.

I'll give Rob a call on Monday and email Brian and Scott, we'll see what is up!

Cheers,

Oskaar

This is definitely on! I emailed Scott and Brian, and verified with B3 yesterday. I'll be making two or three meads.

1. Black Raspberry Melomel

2. Mountain Pecan Honey Metheglin

There will be lots of mead to sample, and plenty of sausages as well. It's always a hoot!

Cheers,

Oskaar

I just ordered the sausages, and one of my brew-buddies from the local brew club will be attending with me as well. I emailed Brian and Scott so hopefully we'll have a good crowd. What the hell, even a bad day brewing is better than a . . . well just about anything else.

I'll be there at about 10:00 AM ready to make some mead, and I'll be armed to the teeth with mead and wine, as well as sausages.

Cheers and hope to see you there,

Oskaar

How was the mead day? I'm sorry I missed it, but I was having a blast in Vegas being kitchen staff for our faire group :). I drank an amount of my apple pie cyser while I was there. It's still young (very!) but it's drinkable :).

When's the next mead day?

We got rained out (long story drop me a line) so we're rescheduling for sometime in November. You may be able to attend after all!

Cheers,
