Do you know what a Jackfruit is? Does anyone? Better yet, has anyone ever made a mead from a Jackfruit? Well, we found a guy who does. Meet Joe Leigh. A software architect by trade got hooked on mead while attending a beer share event, the mead? Ken Schramm's Black Agnes. he started collecting and trading up, looking for the best meads, and in 2017, started adding yeast to water and honey. He is a multiple award winner, including three Mazer Cups, was inspired to become a certified BJCP Mead Judge, and was listed among the top 10 AMMA 2018 Mead Makers of The year. Joe starts off by telling us about his historical mead, a Tej, that just happened to take the gold at this year's Valkyries Horn in Minneapolis. Oh, and wait until we get to the Jackfruit part in his interview, you don't want to miss it!
