It's Melomel Season!


In terms of frequency of in-store customers, mead making is easily the winner. Making mead is among the easiest fermented beverages to homebrew. And just like with fruit beers, summer is a great time to use fresh local seasonal fruit to make melomels (fruit mead).

Brewing with Fruit


Summer is a great time of year for adding fresh local seasonal fruit to beer. When you add fruit to your primary fermentation, a lot of the fruit character will blow off, resulting in a wine-like fruit character. Post-primary fermentation fruit additions will result in a more pronounced fruit character.

Get Ready To Harvest Hops!


The most important thing to remember after an entire summer of growing hops is not to pick them too soon. Obviously, there is a best time to harvest hops. But it is best to pick them a little late than a little early. Picking hops too soon will not allow the alpha-acids to fully develop.
