“I started to learn how to make mead with my grandfather in 2017. That day I got to learn how to stir honey and learn our family recipe, which we hold incredibly close to us. Mead is of huge significance to my family. Although we have been making meads for over 150 years, the recipes we use here in Maryland are only about 40 years old.
Mead is a tribute to a deep rooted history. Longer than most mead productions in the world.
Now, as a fifth generation, I get the privilege to not only make mead with my grandparents, but to also share that rite of passage with my generation. So far with three cousins. As we create more mead, more cousins and siblings will have left their mark on a mead that reflects them. When you taste our meads, you’re tasting our history. Our past, present, and future.” – Rachel Lipman, Loew Vineyards. Check out the family operation here, and read their story, it is very eye opening.
In Segment 2, Quality Ingredients and Return on Investment – How much are you willing to spend on a batch of mead? Spend 10 minutes on social media and you’ll see guys dropping a fortune on tens of pounds of heritage breed fruit, varietal honey, etc. and other guys using generic brand fruit juice and big box store honey.

In her own words, “I wanted to try my hand at Meade making, but wanted a class, you know, someone to show me how so that I didn’t make a mistake. Finally last winter I decided enough playing chicken and made my first batch, a 1 gal Traditional, and the next week I started a 5 Gal trad that I split in secondary to blueberry, blood orange, lemon ginger and strawberry, with 1 gal trad, and I haven’t looked back.” Software engineer and home mead maker Laura Scott joins us this episode. Jeff, JD & Ryan discuss their “go-to” yeasts and what they like about them, and that pretty much consumes the whole show! We promise we will get to the Social Club next week!

“Big fan and listener of the show. I have listened to every episode after diving into this hobby two years ago.

Jeff has visions of bonfires returning home to pick up a coat he forgot, then we wrap the show with the Social Club as always!
