The course began enrollment in early July but it seems to still be accepting people.

Liquid Alchemy, Delaware’s first meadery, set to open September 10
Liquid Alchemy will open Delaware’s first meadery on September 10 in Wilmington, DE. The grand opening, set for noon, will feature music and food. We will provide more updates as we get closer to the date. Although mead is one of the world’s oldest drinks, many customers may be unaware of honey wine and the many flavors it offers. Liquid Alchemy uses such ingredients as; Thai chilies, fresh limes, Oregon sour cherries and Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans, Washington Bing cherries and Peruvian Raw Cacao Nibs to create innovative new flavors.
We know for many unfamiliar with mead, a little education may be helpful. Luckily, the great people of Liquid Alchemy were willing to provide some insights on the various kinds of meads. Additionally, Delaware Online recently published a terrific article on Liquid Alchemy and mead in general.
