Do you know what time it is? Thanks @TxBrew and InkBird! :bravo:

Thanks. I'm putting it in a Perry (pear cider) with a lot less than 1.080 OG

What kind of kreusan can I expect with this blend? Do I need a blow-off tube, or is an air-lock sufficient?

Thanks Herbie, The Gale's has been one I was favoring, so, I guess it will be my next. I will pick up the "Mild Ale" book from the club library, and go from there for the future brews. Howard Oviedo, FL

Thanks for the reply. I plan to make about half of them in the next 12 months. Were there any you were particularly fond of? Cheers & Sláinte, Howard

Has anyone made any of the mild recipes in Wheeler and Protz"s book "Brew Your Own British Real Ale" (BYOBRA)? I want to make some of the classics, but, when I plugged them into BeerSmith, the bittering was off the board. Are they really that bitter?

Thanks for the quick reply. OK, I'm going to make this, but I have a couple of questions. 1} original recipe calls for 0.25kg / 9oz crystal - what did you use? I'm thinking of using 8oz crystal 40L and 2oz crystal 120L. 2} what temp did you mash at? I'm thinking of 152°F. 3} what temp...

So, did anyone ever brew this, and if you did, how did it turn out? I've been making Scottish ales for the last couple of months (for the Highland Games season here in Florida), and I feel like something with hops, but not overboard. Cheers & Sláinte, Howard

It hasn't been canceled - just postponed to this spring, or early summer. Due to multiple logistic issues, they decided to not try and "pull it off" and have a mediocre event. I will post the new info here as soon as I get it. OOPS! header should be 2011

This sounds good. How did it turn out? Howard

This should be just about ready to drink - How did it turn out?

Last call for Meadllennium 2008 entries. Entries need to be here by 19 January. The medals have arrived and the hand-engraved prizes are here (they look GREAT!) :tank: Don’t forget – WE AWARD MORE MEAD MEDALS THAN ANYONE!!! Check our web page for details and entry forms...

Meadllennium 2008 What: The first Mead-Only competition of 2008. There are just six Mead-Only competitions in the USA. We are the oldest, and some even say the “most prestigious.” In 2008, we are bringing back the category for Historical Meads. This is for the meadmaker that prefers to make...

MEADLLENNIUM 2007 was a great success. We had a record number of entries and awarded a record number of medals. No categories were collapsed, and, once again, we expanded the “Other Fruit Melomel” (25C) category to award medals for Dry, Semi-Sweet and Sweet, in the category. The new Historical...
