Hmmm. Interesting. Thank you for the input. I’m doing a combo wine right now of them right now. Even though it’s slightly peach heavy in content the overwhelming taste is blackberry. Big fan of 1 gallon batches- they make little rubber stoppers that fit in growlers for a reason.

I’ve brewed a lot of beer but never made & am interested in meads... I have a lot of frozen peaches (white) & blackberries (black satin- thornless variety that aren’t super sweet) & I’d like to do something with them so meads make sense. Love reading the forums & appreciate expertise and/or...

any luck? what city are you in? could put a touch of slurry in a 12oz bottle, cap & take it I suppose

So 27F is below freezing (32F) so that means you have them in the freezer (congelador) & not the fridge (geladiera)? I only put mine in the fridge but out of the pots/soil but in heavy duty large ziplock bags or trash bags... in the US- haven't gotten my hands on hop bines in Brasil yet. Sent...

Do you mean the commercial kind you buy already filled that you have to pay a deposit for?? It depends on the city. You may just have anybody you know in the city to start asking around at small restaurants that have chopp. Seems like an awful big thing to ship. Don't forget that the voltage...

Actually a lot of Belgian yeasts tolerate higher temps. Also a lot of Belgian beers are bottle fermented- meaning there's still yeast in the bottom that can be cultured. I wouldn't recommend that for your first few batches but it's something to keep in mind for later. Sent from my iPhone using...

Remember that the luggage weight restriction for Brasil is better than anywhere else you can go from the US- 70lbs instead of 50 lbs. I would absolutely buy a good sized quality heavy brew kettle in the US, bubble wrap it & get a big fat duffel that would fit it. I took wide barstools in big...

Thanks. I could write a book about the beer scene in Brasil but I'll try to be brief since I'm new here & some people might just want to get to the Keezer pics so PM me if you want more details. In a nutshell it's like the US in the early 80's- lots of big brand watered down stuff. Skol is the...

It's taken a few weeks to make it through all these great keezer pics & I finally decided to join HBT. Anybody know of any good 220 volt temp controlling options for those of us building keezers outside the US? Looks like eBay has a bunch of 220 aquarium units from different places in Asia but...
