  Just a quick message to anyone that is sitting on the fence and not sure if they should order
  from Ontario Beer Kegs: I don't have any connection to OBK but I have ordered from them 3 times
  and I am a...

  Thanks folks! From the sounds of it AZ_IPA's original melamel went over well when served
  carbonated so that's what got me thinking I should do the same. Perhaps for force carbonating
  with CO2 is the w...

  I have had my first mead (AZ_IPA's raspberry melamel) bulk ageing in a carboy for nearly 2

  Well looks like I might be in trouble here. I took a hydrometer reading yesterday after 9 days

  but much o...

  Sorry, forgot to mention that I was using an electric blanket for heating, but you would
  probably have better heat distribution if you used a water bath and aquarium heater. I
  initially had the electr...

  Hey MisterShah, I started to warm mine up near the end of Day 5. I have brought it up to about
  80 F (27 C), which is admittedly outside the temperature range listed on the Wyeast website,
  but I think ...
