Brewers Guild Yeast Experiment – Starting 12/5

Hello brewers! Come join us as we embark on our next big experiment!

The December Brewers Guild meeting is coming up next week on Wednesday (12/5), graciously hosted by Brahen.

At this meeting, we will embark upon a multi-year yeast-tracking adventure, starting 5 (or more) small batch meads, with the only difference in each being the type of yeast.  Each batch should yield at least 4 bottles, enabling us to sample each mead over the next 4 years and track the change in taste over time.

Please join us for the fun.  If you have a request for a type of yeast to include in our experiment, let me know below by next Monday (12/3).

Thank you for your support – hope to see you soon!
