I am patiently *cough* awaiting an email.

I just got a holiday card with a handwritten note and personally signed by the staff. Very nice personal touch Schramms. It's the details like this that set you apart from the rest. Class acts.

It's the small things like this amazing hand written Holiday card that makes me extremely happy to have invested in the lifetime membership.

I didn't take the job offer in Madison, so while I can triple my salary in another industry, I'll stay and double it in January. My back is killing me, Madeline weighs 21#, and Agnes will be in bottles for my birthday. Amelia should arrive in March - she is super healthy and the mead is amazing. My bourbon collection is growing and I need a haircut.

Are you having another baby? I'm out of the loop apparently...

I was visiting family in Brighton and came to visit your place on the 26th of December and came back the next day as well, just wanted to say I had an awesome time trying all your mead and actually learned a lot from talking to the employees there! Brought back a bunch of mead to STL that I'll be sharing with buddies! Black Heart was amazing, but I think Black Agnes barely beat it out as my favorite!

Great thread. Thanks for the knowledge Naegerbomb

Anytime!

and if anyone ever has any pressing questions or wants to get ahold of me, you can always email: [email protected]. I check that several times a day, and with Test Batch #2 arriving in March I won't have a whole lot o' time to sit at my home computer.
-Cheers!

Got my first delivery of Schramm's Mead. Drinking the Ginger and already debating joining the Mazer's club.

Reading back through the AMA and kicking myself quite hard for not joining Mazer's. I doubt I'll get another chance...

I haven't seen any discussion around the water you use. Do you use city water? If so do you filter or modify the water?

So long as the water isn't trucked in from Flint...we're good!

We use city water, unfiltered or modified. Our clean water is honestly one of the best things our metro area has going for it - it is very tasty, pure, and with a relatively low load of chlorine/chloramine it makes great brewing water as is. For some of the micro cuvee stuff, we use spring water. We may look to filter and treat all of our brewing water in the future, but like I said: metro Detroit (and most of Michigan, actually) has really great water for brewing. It is one of the reasons we have so many fine breweries here - the Great Lakes are an amazing resource for us.

What kind of water do you use for your brewing?

I've always used untreated tap for homebrewing, but starting to make Mead and thinking of going with spring water since I'm going no heat no sulfites.

This weekend marks my first trip to Schramms and luckily this work week is buzzing by. My apologies in advance if I accidentally brush up against someone with my raging mead b. I mean well and I don't get out much

What style of glassware is available for takeaway? Thanks!

They might have the Black Heart glasses still available. In addition they also have a snifter style.

Thanks for the warning. I'll try to swing my dick in the opposite direction.
