[foodhackingbase] Beekeeping

[Marcel van der Peijl]

Hi,

The larp events are 400-500 people 3-day events. Lots of people bring bottles, but most commercial, most sweet. But also some homebrewn maed which was less sweet but very good, made by someone who’d get 10kg honey batches from her bee keeping friend.

As for ‘tasting’ quantity you bring to congress – I was trying to figure out if you want to bring 1 bottle or 24. The drink tasting sessions (cidre, beer, whisky) usually take that amount of bottles if announced publicly as a tasting session, if there were many different flavours to taste etc. But just a small sip for anyone who signed up for your presentation/workshop is also fine

If the hands on session would let everyone who joins leave with a small or big bottle they made themselves ready to drink 2 months later, that would be fine. That is not uncommon for our workshops like kimchi making.

So it’s really up to you to choose what you want to present or do at the foodhackingbase with mead, and the size of the event. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

Cheers,

Marcel

Hi,
 
Sure! Will there be a lot of maed for sampling/tasting?

(I play larp – Live Action Role Playing and a we drink lots of maed in that setting, also home brews, so I’d be interested myself)

I am not so sure what you have in mind here… ;) Just for the record: what do you exactly mean by “a lot of mead”? How much do you drink in the “larp” sessions and how many players are there?

Also: what kind of mead do you drink? Most people associate mead with a sweet drink, but it does not need to be so.


Does it make sense to do a hands on workshop in maed making in stead of a presentation? 
 

Making mead takes about 2-3 months and some for it to improve. The  congress lasts 4 days. Do you have a time machine?
