💡Doctor Strange New World: or how I learned to stop worrying about the pandemic and make more mead! 💡

They did all the homework, wrote the business plan, and secured the financing (not without challenges) and licensing to open the fourth meadery in Arizona. Scale & Feather Meadery was starting strong in the summer of 2019. Little did the owners know, a worldwide pandemic was looming and would force them to close the tasting room 10 months in.

Now celebrating 3 years of successful business growth despite Covid-19 and related challenges, Ben Chaney from @scaleandfeathermead will share tips, tricks, and pitfalls to avoid if you want to open your own meadery. He’ll share some of the tactics and pivots he had to use to make it through a pandemic that literally shut the Meadery down before its first anniversary and threatened to close its doors forever.

💡Self-Distribution: Questions and (some) Answers 💡

One of the hardest areas to navigate for new meaderies is self-distribution. Even if it's legal in your state, is it a good idea? How do you do it successfully? Is there a way to set up structures that can grow with your business? Greg Heller-LaBelle of @colonymeadery will take you through the questions you should be asking, the numbers you should be running, and how to think about self-distribution of mead in your markets.

Get (some) answers from Greg at MeadCon this August in Baltimore! Visit https://mead-makers.org/meadcon/ (link in bio) if you haven’t reserved your tickets yet.

💡Bench Trials: Scaling from Small to Large💡

💡Bench Trials: Scaling from Small to Large💡

•How do you scale from an idea to a 20, 100, 1000, or 10,000 liter batch and ensure they will all turn out the same?
•How do you test different possible flavor combinations before you invest in the ingredients for a full-sized batch?
•How can you figure out what amount of acid/backsweetening/sulfur/etc. works for your taste and isn't just someone's "one-size-fits-all" answer?

Brad’s session on Bench Trials will be focus on flavoring in secondary, backsweetening, acid adjustments, blending and more. He’ll cover the must have and nice-to-have tools necessary to rig out your own trial laboratory. No matter if you're a home or a large commercial mead maker, all of these are within reach. Brad will also share the calculations to help scale anything up from a small 50ml test to 8000 liters and hit your mark.
