In this episode, Jim Ladd, owner of Cascade Beer Candi Syrup Company stops in for as visit. A unique method of adding flavors to beers, meads and cider/cysers, Jim explains how one flavor, Maple Bacon Candi Syrup is great for stouts and porters. Jim talks about how oven toasted coconut flavors seem to fade away over time, yet using a candi syrup helps hang on to the flavor over time. Ryan updates the prize list for the Iron Bee competition, and home mead maker Moises Martinez makes a visit again to update us on what he's been up to. We finish the show with The Hopper List, a rundown of the Mead House crew's projects.
