@Redrider Where's the mead producer near London? I'm down there reasonably often - wouldn't mind grabbing myself a bottle

After seeing the post of the person that pitched late August, I'm wondering why I haven't hit that point yet. I made a 1 gal of JAOM. Pitched the first weekend in August. Fruit fell after about 9 weeks, however, my JAOM hasn't cleared yet. I know the directions say not to touch, and various...

cheap hairdryer on a low setting... Will move the air in the chamber too

Thirded. I just brewed an English brown - S04 tore through it in like 30 hours.... Done

Neocitran. FTW!

As someone else mentioned - I'd be making friends with a neighbour at your folks place then

Generally, correct - you don't switch a neutral.

Was at a local beer club meeting this past weekend. Lots of different beers came out - sweet and malty, to downright bitter. Can't say I had a bad beer really. Can say there are beers that I would lean towards, but everyone has their own preferences.

I brewed this a while back and made some substitutions as well. Couldn't get crystal 10, used carahell. Couldnt get cara-pils, used carabelge - full pound. Still turned out pretty darn good IMO.

Resurrecting an old one here. Thinking about a blueberry vanilla mead. How did you find the vanilla flavour with the 3 pods of vanilla bean? Thinking about a pound of blueberry per gallon, but not sure on the quantity for the vanilla bean to make it taste good without overpowering the...

I recently did a light munich, spalter SMASH. I haven't tasted the finished product yet - did sneak a taste while bottling though. Warm and uncarbonated, it had some nice flavour. Looking forward to trying it in a month or so once it has carbed up and had a little bit of time.

Never thought about the rising - maybe I will mount a box on the bottom with a keyless fixture for the bulb. Would mounting a computer fan at the top work just to circulate some air? I think I would run it constantly. Any ideas for getting it off the wall of the box to allow it some room to...

To elaborate a little further... I think I'm going to build it 2'x3' and 3' high. I will raise the bottom up and put the insulation underneath the bottom side to give a solid wood bottom. I plan to make 2 frames at 2x3 to use as the base and at the top. I will fill in the insides with...

Been trying to figure out a way to lager beer in Canada in the winter without needing a freezer at this point. I'm thinking about building a fermentation/lagering chamber. It appears that given other research, I should be able to heat it with a lightbulb on an ebay temp controller. What I...
