Thanks Kevin, So I guess my plan is gonna be to experiment, so once i get something nice and carb'd in the keg I'll test bottle some, place them in a box or somewhere safe and room temp, and see what happens :D and I'll bring the results back to the forum. I have both 12 and 22 ounce bottle...

This thread is asking the exact question I had, which is using a counter pressure filler and glass bottles for soda. But now comes by keg noob questions! My kegs and kegging supplies show up tomorrow, and I planned on getting something into them this weekend, but I do not have a kegerator or...

I have only done two different 1 gallon batches of Habanero Mead, but I loved both so much I couldn't stop drinking them, used 3 Habaneros in a gallon with seeds, and they were placed in primary. But I do love my peppers and heat, and so do the co-workers that tasted them. I also apparently...

Here is the pic I took when making my Habanero Cap, I put 3 cut in half, removed seeds (so when i rack/bottle they aren't annoying) but tried to leave some veins. Sorry for my stupid shaky pic!

I loosely based my current Habanero off of that thread :D. Though I went with about a pound less honey and 3 habaneros, actually I just tasted it last night and its great! The current sweetness does cut down the heat though, but I plan to leave the peppers in the whole time, and will just cut it...

Yeah I thought of that when it still wasn't going this morning before work, but I got home tonight and it is bubbling strong!

So this is my first Mead with hydrometer readings, just put it together yesterday and being at work with a bit of free time decided to make my first real post. So first with the Gewürzt Apfel Cyser (Spiced Apple Cyser): 6 Gallon Batch ~15 lbs Wildflower Honey (Couldn't get the lavander honey in...

I'm still new to brewing, but unless you have a way to flash freeze, i'd never let bananas go anywhere near a freezer/fridge. But like I said, i don't know if it makes a difference for brewing, I know it does with say strawberries but something like bananas would get dominated I'd bet.

You can always try adding a smokey tea, like : http://www.adagio.com/black/lapsang_souchong.html?SID=9c0d42546b59bb9c9aa90af884d42682 I've never tried it, but I want/plan to at some point.

I love the idea, and though I do occasionally drink Arizona teas still, I am opposed to using it for a brew. When it comes to my daily multiple cup consumption of tea, I go with quality loose leaf, loose leaf all the way! Now if you wondering what a great resource for loose leaf tea is, it...

So I was at a buddies house the other day and he decided to show me what he picked up at the local medicinal club. (Now I'm sorry if I am breaking any forum rules bringing "weed" up but I have a very valid and related reason.) It was a jar of honey that had been made with weed, and after...

I love this, but I really want to be able to upload my own background art and/or fonts. But once again great job making this awesome site.

I just wanted to thank all in this thread for the info, especially you fellow Californians. I plan to start a Mead or two once I either buy more carboys or bottle the Apfelwein I got going. But thanks again everyone!
