Brian Hart is our guest this episode, his smoked tea mead showed up and Valkyries Horn this year, and we want to know more! Along with his smoked tea, he's also done a carrot mead, and has a peach habanero mead carbinating right now. Fitting right into JD's world, he also enjoys good Bourbons, Scotches and whiskies. Also in this episode, the newest issue, November/December of Zymurgy Magazine, an American Homebrewers Association publication, features a cover article about brewing with honey, JD and Ryan discuss methods mentioned they each have used in braggots. And finally in the Facebook Friends segment, Cody has several questions about ciders and cysers.
