In episode 28 of the Meadcast we introduce the MeadMakr’s Toolbox. These are five calculators we think will greatly help in your meadmaking journey. Starting with the BatchBuildr, we’ll walk through the BatchBlendr, ABV Calculator, SG to Brix Converter, and bringing it home we stumble through the Advanced Nutrient Calculator. To further enjoy the episode, Tysen presents a new drinking game for you every time you listen to an episode, outlined below.
The MeadMakr Calculator Drinking Game
It’s really quite simple. Every time Allen says an acronym, take another drink. There are a lot in this episode, so it’s sure to be tons of fun by the end. We sure enjoyed it while we were recording.
