In the middle of moving but I currently am in Cumming but moving towards John's creek. Shoot me a message and I'll let you know when I am going to do the next brew. Have a ton of hops at the moment and want to get back to brewing asap.

Thank meadlover. So there is no risk of oxidation if you don't carbonate the mead while bottling? I am used to beer making where carbonation is key. Didn't know if that translates to mead.

What did you use to sweeten once you killed the yeast? Just more honey? How carbonated should this be? Do I need to use tablets to carbonate and if so what is the usual recommendation of tablet to use?

I bought a kit and here is my Link.

Let it age in bottles is fine. But you need to keep the bottles around 55-65 for them to mature. Throwing them in the fridge will slow their progression down.

Thanks Bob. So something more like: 1oz Cascade - FWH 1oz Warrior - 90min 1oz Warrior - 75min 1oz Citra - 60min .5oz Citra / Centennial - 15min 1oz Centennial - 5 min .5oz Citra / Centennial Whirlpool 1oz Citra / Cascade Dry hop Also the reason for the different malts was me wanting a lower...

The Cascade and Citra were going to be dry hop before I started reading about adding them at flame out and letting them sit for 10 min before the final wort cooling. This is the article: Hoppy Beers and Whirlpooling

My friend had already bought a kit of the Brewer's best DIPA but I wanted to change it up. That's why some of the choices might look a little odd since I am including some already purchased parts. Batch: 5 Gallon, Boil Time: 90min Steep Grains: 4oz Caramel 20L 8oz Caramel 40L 12oz...
