Mead Making with Norris Childs
Mead is honey wine, made by fermenting honey in water. It’s one of the simplest fermented beverages, but it offers a wide range of flavors depending on ingredients and process.
This is a four part workshop. You only need to purchase one ticket! You don’t need a separate ticket for each class.
