Hey Baltibrewers! Tomorrow, 10 am, at Snyder's Apiaries in White Hall, Maryland we'll be taking part in Wootown's annual mead mazing.

Bring a covered side dish, and beer or some other libation to share. If you'd like to take home must, bring cash and a clean fermenter and airlock. Honey is $3.50 per pound. Wootown will have a variety of wine yeasts available for purchase, but you can pitch any yeast you happen to have as well.

For the uninitiated, this is always a cool event. It's a beautiful location out in the country, and it's a great chance to mingle with one of our compatriot clubs. Weather is forecast to be cool, and partly cloudy so dress accordingly.

Some of us will be collectively brewing an un-hopped braggot — a beer/mead hybrid. Feel free to bring your own equipment if you want to brew yourselves, but remember that a 10 am start makes for a late finish. Extract may be preferable to all-grain.
