Wanted to thank everyone who came out to support us at Thirsty Orange this year! The Boars Blood Punch was the crowd favorite not only for the nonbeer category, but overall. The Pineapple Puna Punch was also a crowd favorite. We are so humbled and appreciative!
Collaboratively with our friends from BrewNET we also received the award for the Best Homebrew Lineup at the event.
I would like to give a special thanks to Natalie Pickett & John Bolt for serving two amazing beers along side us, but mostly for just being the wonderful friends they always are! It was a great day!
For those who want the details on our meads for the event here they are ...
All of the ingredients except the water, yeast, and nutrients were from .kele.honey. You can check them out here: https://hawaiianhoneywaokele.square.site/

Both meads we fermented dry to 6% ABV using 8lbs of honey. The ingredient packs were added afterwards for secondary fermentation. 2 weeks later they were racked, aged for a couple months, back sweetened with the remaining honey, then kegged to be served a week later.
