Our first ever beginners workshop was a huge success. Over 30 people showed up at the pre-meeting. Thanks to board members Greg and Rick for teaching how to build frames using a jig and going over all the different types of frames from plastic to natural comb.

We saw over 70 people for the mead presentation featuring guest speaker and certified mead judge Todd Wenzel. Most were surprised with all of the technical details and historic facts about mead, the worlds oldest alcoholic beverage. It seemed most members were intrigued by all the different types of mead, especially the Acerglyn variant which uses pure maple syrup in the must.

Todd’s slides, recipes, handouts and information will be uploaded soon to the files section of this page. Keep an eye out if you want a copy. Todd welcomes everyone to email him with questions since we ran out of time before he could answer them all. ... See MoreSee Less
