Mead is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in human history, yet modern fermentation science has dramatically improved how it can be made today. Join us for an engaging presentation by Dr. Matthew Ellis, founder and head meadmaker of Waffle Sauce Meadery in Merritt Island, Florida, and current President of the American Mead Makers Association.

Dr. Ellis holds a PhD in chemistry from Florida State University and brings a unique blend of scientific knowledge, practical experience, and an approachable teaching style to the subject of fermentation. In addition to running Waffle Sauce Meadery, he works as a Principal Engineer in aerospace, with experience at companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Lockheed Martin.
