In his talk at the conference, he will discuss the methods of caramelizing honey for meads. The pros and cons for the different methods along with how it will change the end product. He will also cover how caramelizing honey can differ depending on the contents of the honey. How caramelizing honey will effect fermentation and the flavor components in the mead. He will end with thoughts on recipe formulation and tips and tricks to keep the brew day safe and problem free.
