National event to increase Mead awareness and foster camaraderie among Mead-makers.

First organized in 2002 by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA), Mead Day is a national event to increase mead awareness and foster camaraderie among mead-makers. Homebrewers around the world are encouraged to invite friends and family to celebrate Mead Day by making Mead (or other fermentable beverages) together.

Bring your equipment and ingredients for a fun filled day.

My goal in this document is to present a ‘Cliff’s Notes’ version of the Judging Mead section of the Mead Study Guide prepared by several members of the BJCP and available at this URL: http://www.bjcp.org/mead/Mead_Study.doc This document is very long and is intended to include all information needed to pass the BJCP Mead certification exam. Every bit of the following discussion is taken from this tome.

Judging mead differs from simply drinking mead as a judge is to compare his/her drink to idealized standards and discuss why it does and does not fit the profile.
