Are there some pro-brewers? (self.homebrewing)

From September 1. I may start working in smaller/mid size brewery so I would like to know if there are only homebrewers.

Do you have some insights or tips from working in commercial brewerys?

And don't get me wrong I will still make some homebrew but probably not beer - for few years I am making cider and want to try mead.

I would imagine the mixture you're referring to would taste a bit like chewing on a honeycomb, so a bit of propolis flavour in there, might shine through a bit medicinal as a first thought. That doesn't mean it's bad though.

Do note that the beeswax content might give you some issues with clarity since it's not really soluble in the alcohol amount your usual mead has and you may end up with funky floaters.

Nice one on getting it straight from the beekeeper! I'd be curious to find out what using the mixture you've got there yields.
