The Orange and Cumin Challenge
Mead Stampede organizers will brew up a special batch of mead featuring orange and cumin. Here’s the challenge: we just gave you the ingredients, but not the recipe. You brew with these ingredients – trying your best to guess what the Cattle Battle Challenge mead tastes like. Whichever entry gets the closest in flavor to the official brew will be declared the winner!
How will the orange be added? Zest, juice, or something else? How much cumin — and will it be in primary, secondary, or both? What strength – hydromel, standard, or sack?
This category is open to all entrants and will be judged with a standard score sheet. However, only the mead CLOSEST in flavor to our official brew will be the winner!
