All the way from an 18 acre farm in the frigid East coast of Maine, Mike Fava, and award-winning accomplished brewer from Oxbow Brewing stops by the house to talk honey beers and barrel fermenting sours. Now, if you’re into braggots like we are, listen to Mike as he describes his brewing and bottling process on a few of his honey beers, you should pick up a few nuggets here and there! To stop the ferment or not to stop, that’s the question for segment 2. This question gets asked a lot, has been talked about a lot, and Jeff leads us through a discussion as to if it’s a good idea or not. We wrap the show as always with the Social Club, had a great many good topics and we’ll pick up next week where we left off.

In this episode, ever consider an all fruit mead? We mean, ALL fruit? Whole fruits, honey and yeast? We’ll give it a go in segment one, along with any fruits you wouldn’t use? And then, as promised a couple weeks ago, (yeah, we missed the mark last week), a Social Club double header. Lots of questions from our listeners including, why mead? Why do you guys make mead?

Aaron started as a volunteer at Saint Arnold pouring beer in the beer hall during Saturday tours. Soon became a tour guide, and would constantly pester the brewers and Brock about opportunities to become a brewer. Eventually it came, and 9 years later Aaron has held positions as a shift brewer, Lead Shift Brewer, Barrel Program Manager, Director of Brewing Operations, and currently Innovation Manager which oversees all R&D for the brewery. We get into a short discussion of favorite memories as we wrap up 2020, and a few Social Club questions.

In operation since 2019 producing braggots and traditional beer as a gypsy brewer wherever they could find empty brewing vessels, they have recently secured an operating site where they are featuring beer, braggots and barbecue!

“DIY has never gone out of fashion, but in the last few years we’ve seen a real revival in this area. What started in 1972 as a pharmacy and drugstore has grown over a few decades into Europe’s most highly specialized wholesaler for products for making your own wine, beer, liqueurs or dairy products.” Meet Bart Balis in this episode. He is the son and CEO of the founder of Brewferm, Frans Balis, and he is here to talk to us about an amazing product that could change the way we make braggots. Well, maybe not change but certainly adds a new dimension. In our second segment, to secondary or not to secondary, that is the question, and we wrap the show as always with a few questions from our Social Club.
