Class takes place on Mar 14, 2026, from 10 am - 1 pm at the meadery in Pittsboro. All class participants MUST be over 21! No exceptions. Must sign up by Mar 11.
IMPORTANT: This is an intermediate class, and attendees must have a basic understanding of home mead making processes, equipment, and terms and have made a few home mead batches. Although we love Joe’s Ancient Orange, it does NOT qualify as mead making experience! If you are looking for a beginning mead making class, try the one on Feb 28.
