So you know the very _basics_ of making mead. Maybe you can follow a _recipe_. But do you know how to _predict_ how strong and sweet a recipe will yield? (Or reverse it, and _construct_ a recipe for desired strength and sweetness?) The math is surprisingly simple. Do you know what equipment, supplements, and chemicals to use, and why? What to do with the leftover _sludge?_ How to _fix_ a batch with problems -- and when to just toss it instead? How to _carbonate_ your mead? Come find out all this -- and _much_ more! We won't be getting into how _commercial_ meaderies operate, but this will level you up from unsure scrounging newbie to confident well-equipped homebrewer.

This talk is about the geeky details that the shorter version of my main mead talk omits. Basically, Mead 201.
