We're back after our December time off to enjoy family and the holidays. And diving right in! Ryan is going to kick off the new year with some conversation on meadmaking, and some of the myths that seem to pervade a lot of the internet and are passed around by people not aware that they are myths.

Yes, mead is old as people, and yes, it has a long history (we're having a show on mead history next month), but we also have science, and as science has advanced, we've discovered or proven many things about fermentation, and specifically about making mead that lend a great deal of help to making better mead, and in allowing us to repeat our efforts.

So we'll be tackling the myths, some much beloved, and showing the science that gives us reliable, repeatable methods we can use to make better mead.
