All the way from the UK in 2011 to Sleepy Eye, Minnesota where he makes his home, he started out as an accountant, when he got here, he became a beekeeper! In this episode we talk with Jonathan Gardner of Gardner Bees, about melter honey, something new to the meadmaking world. If you're looking for honey that has a head start on caramelizing for a bochet or a dark grain braggot, maybe this is your honey! In segment two, Ryan trys out a new yeast, JD is about to start a summertime brew, and a listener has a question about Graff! As usual, we wrap the show with some Facebook Friends and some tricky questions!
