From a previous interview we did with Steve Piatz, author of The Complete Guide to Making Mead, talks about the flavor compounds in honey vs. grapes that sometimes will leave a dry traditional seem a little flat. He also discusses temperature control plus some pointers on balance. The guys review a few samples sent around by the crew and finally, Ryan puts on a demonstration for a braggot for the Minnesota Home Brew Association. Here's the ingredients for Ryan's demo. We're not responsible for your outcome, we only offer this so you can come up with your own result. Make sure and listen to the show for more! 3.15 lbs Munich LME 3.15 lbs Marris Otter LME 2 lbs Belgian Candi Sugar (dark) 5 lbs Wildflower honey (step feed) 1 oz Pacific Gem hops (15min)  

Tonight we're thrilled to be talking with Steve Piatz, author of the top-selling mead book, "The Complete Guide to Making Mead". The first meads Steve made were when he was training with his brewclub to become a BJCP judge, back in the 90's. They weren't the best meads, but they worked at it. Then he attended a session taught by Ken Schramm and Dan McConnell, and he found what good mead tasted like. Then Ken wrote "The Compleat Meadmaker", and then the discussions of staggered nutrients and fruit in primary and other interesting developments began to happen. His mead got really good. Fast forward to 2013, and Steve had served on several mead panels, and after doing a write up, he was approached by a publisher to write his book. Steve is currently a grand master BJCP VIII judge, right behind Gordon Strong. He is part of the exam grading process, and an exam director. And he generated nearly all the questions for the BJCP Mead exam. You want to listen in! Join us for GotMead Live Chat, on Skype, live during the broadcast!!
