Food and Drink Spring 2025
401 Mead-Making 101 Instructor Dan Schreffler
Mead is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages ever made, as it was consumed as far back as 4,000 years. Interestingly, it was common across ancient cultures around the world including those in Asia, Europe and Africa. Though like beer, wine or cider, Mead occupies a beverage category on its own since its primary fermentable sugar is honey. Come join Dan Schreffler, the President/Winemaker of Space Time Mead &, Cider Works in Dunmore PA as he presents how easy it is for you to get started producing your own mead. The class will run over two sessions, the first one covering fermentation and initial raking/stabilization, making a few three-gallon batches. The second session covers clarification bottling/ kegging. Yes, you will get some mead to take home after the second session! The class will be in the Montrose Library Community room. Small groups will get hands-on experience in each of the easy steps. A great class to attend with your spouse or friend! If you would like, you can purchase a mead-making kit and go right home and be ready to start on your own. Once registered we will check to see if you would like to purchase the kit. The class limit is 20 students
