FARMINGTON — The workshop Making Beer and Wine from Your Woodlot is planned for Saturday, March 27, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Brewer John Cormier of Kennebec Home Brew Supplies will present the basics of fermentation and equipment needed, whether it be for beer, wine, soda mead, etc. He will then explore the many natural resources with which one can make those products that may be on attendees’ woodlots, or could be grown on their woodlots. Cormier will talk about beer, wine, soda and mead making from sap, honey, ginger, herbs, fruit, vegetables; the list is endless. His hobby sap evaporator will be running as well. Dress warm.

Directions are: 235 Farmington Falls Road, or US Route 2, right across for the big cemetery in Farmington.

This workshop is free and open to all. Any questions, contact Patty Cormier at patty.cormier@maine.gov, or 592-2238. This event is sponsored by the Maine Forest Service and the Small Woodland Owners Association.
