Oskaar makes mead, June 04, 2011 at Homebrew Provisions

[Oskaar]

Hello to all of you BrewCommuners!

I'll be doing a meadmaking seminar/demonstration in Fullerton, California on Saturday, June 4, 2011 at Addison Homebrew Provisions around noontime.

I'll be making a melomel (tentatively a tart cherry) using my own unique technique and explaining the process as I whip up the batch of mead. I'll also post the recipe here on GotMead in the Patron Section.

If you plan on coming out, bring a bottle of mead with you (or two. . . maybe three) and join the fun. If you have the fixins to make a batch of mead, bring them along as well and we'll have a group-grope orgy of meadmaking right there on the spot, and I can help you dial in your recipes and show you my way of making some great mead.

Here's the address and phone for the location:

1328 East Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92831
714.752.8446

Trust me when I say my style is unique, half-science, half-intuition and half-technology, some fun and generally involves plenty of taste testing (of finished mead, and of course the must).

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Cheers,

Oskaar

That's 1 1/2.

[JonW]

That's 1 1/2.

He did say it was unique!

[BrewMasterBrad]

Well, you know what they say. Eighty percent of brewing is ninety percent mental.

[Oskaar]

That's 1 1/2.

Actually, I say, I say, that's a joke son! (in my best Foghorn Leghorn voice)

[nico soze]

That joke doesn't work without a straight man, that's where I come in.

[Oskaar]

And there you have it!

Right on Oskaar!

Based on our email conversation, I've been promoting it from 3pm - 5pm. Can you switch from noon to three ? There is an extract beer making demo from 10am - 2pm. It'll be a zoo if we try to cram both in at the same time. Oh and Brew Captain will be brewing All grain all day!

I think it is going to be a full house for mead making. More and more people are getting into it after trying the various meads I made. The Sage mead from last year that Oskaar guided us through is coming out awesome!!!

Spoke with Oskaar, he's on from 3pm - 5pm. My guess is he'll be there earlier for Baconmania or Nom Nom.
