This class will teach you how to make one gallon of traditional mead, a fermented beverage made with honey. We will cover what you'll need to do before brewing, steps you'd take while brewing and different examples of what you could brew with mead. Participants are provided all the necessary tools and equipment to brew this and future batches of mead. 

Cody Lester started making mead with a simple one-gallon kit his brother-in-law got him, and it has grown it into an incredibly enjoyable hobby. He has since had the pleasure of entering many state and national competitions. He recently won Mead/Cider Best in Show at the 2025 Arkansas State Fair and the People’s Choice award at the 4th Ever Hop-off at HAM.
