6-19-18 Tonight we're up to a couple of things. We're going to do some chat tonight around our to-brew lists, mistakes we've learned from, equipment we didn't know we needed when we got started, and other things.

AND, we're happy to welcome Fred Minnick, author and speaker. Fred gave the Mead Cocktails talk at the 2018 AMMA MeadCon.\xa0Wall Street Journal-bestselling author Fred Minnick loves his bourbon so much that\xa0he\u2019s written three books on the subject: Whiskey Women, Bourbon Curious and Bourbon:\xa0The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of An American Whiskey, which Smithsonian\xa0Magazine recognized as one of the best food books of 2016 and won Tales of the Cocktail\u2019s Spirited Awards\u2019 Best Book. That\u2019s right, bourbon is\xa0a food. So is rum. Oh yeah, he wrote Rum Curious,\xa0which Atlanta Journal Constitution named one of the best drinks books of 2017. Fully admitting that he has a book writing addiction, Minnick wrote Mead: The Libations, Legends, and Lore of History\u2019s Oldest Drink.
