June 30, 2015 – Inaugural Show!
Vicky, J.D. and A.J. shoot the breeze with Ken Schramm, author of “The Compleat Meadmaker” and owner of Schramm’s Mead in Ferndale, MI. Pete answers questions about starting your mead batch, including detailed discussion of starters, feeding your mead, restarting stuck batches, as well as finishing a fermentation with various methods like cold crashing, chemical and other nifty info!

We’ll be talking with Brad Dalhofer, owner of B.Nektar Meadery in Ferndale, MI. Brad got his start on GotMead, and now he’s one of the largest independently owned meaderies in the U.S. We’ll be exploring when he discovered mead, and how he started his business, and where he gets his ideas for some the unique meads he’s created over the years. Join us and call in to ask him your questions! 
J.D. A.J. and I will be chatting about equipment and our favorite tools – and we’d like to hear from you! What equipment do you use and why? 
And, of course, we’ll have your burning mead-making questions answered with Ask Oskaar. This week, Pete digs into a question from Scott (Kernel Crush on the GM forums) about YAN, Yeast Assimilatable (is that word?) Nitrogen, and how it can help you get a better ferment, and what we know and don’t know (yet) about how it works in your mead.

We took a 2 week break, and are back talking mead, this week with Jason Todd Phelps, owner of Ancient Fire Mead and Cider, and award winning mead maker.

Jason has been around the block for many many years and has won countless awards with all things fermented. It seems fitting that tonight we should talk about cysers since it's apple season in many parts of the US. Cysers are mead made with apples. As simplistic as this sounds, in my opinion this is one of the more difficult categories in mead making. So many factors need to come together at just the right point to have a great, well balanced, complex cyser that can go well beyond a fermented Martinelli's. So it's a privilege to hear from Jason tonight on his approach to making award winning cysers.

GotMead Live is the culmination of years of you guys telling me we needed to be on the air (LOL).
At GotMead Live, just like on the website here, we’re all about mead. Making mead, finding mead, and drinking mead.
The show will be broadcast live, so you can call in and be a part of the show. We’ll also be interviewing people in the mead industry, meadery owners, movers and shakers, and equipment and supplies folks, including beekeepers and honey providers.
