Previously joined us with his co-brewer John last May to talk about a mango braggot they’d put together. Toward the end of the episode he mentioned a sourdough starter we’ll have to ask about and says he’s recently filled up 170 bottles of mead, so it sounds like he’s been busy in the last year. Here to tell us what he’s been up to during his pandemic period is returning home meadmaker Ravi Hausner.
In segment 2, we talk cleanses and sanitizers, a topic that was brought up in last week’s Social Club segment. Here’s the link Ryan was referring to…Episode 136. Also, Ryan’s Random Thoughts, possibly a new segment where Ryan just rambles on about random thoughts…on mead making of course. This time, its summertime brew prep, “B” grade projects just not worth drinking, but might make a good reduction for a sauce, and ever make a mead that was so damn good, you hid the bottles so you wouldn’t drink it all at once?
Then finally we wrap the show with the Social Club with items such as getting rid of the bucket smell from the last ferment, figuring out the OG after adding fruit, and a few more. Thanks for listening!
As promised, here’s a couple labels that Ravi’s girlfriend hand draws for his bottles. Artwork courtesy of Andi Morris.
