Im not an expert, and I dont know much about mead, but it should be fine. Actually, most answers you get her is "youshould be just fine". Because this is a hobby that will work on itself. you shouldnt have to do too much to make a great product. Enjoy!

FrankB, I know you will get alot of this: Search for stuff before posting. There is a ton of knowledge here, and by reading through the threads, I promise you will stumble upon any and all answers. To answer your question: Relax, Don't Worry, Have A Home Brew. ;) It'll be fine. Dont do...

I'm pretty sure you will be just fine. Good luck. I am on brew #1, but not too worried thanks to these guys here. There is a thread on this site about teh exact amount of gravity points that the different extracts and stuff will give the brew. You should check with that.

Seriously Revvy, you are the man. The answer to all "Does my beer taste funny?" questions should be: "Brew more beer... it'll take your mind off of this one." I love it.

Remember one thing buddy: SANITIZE!!! Welcome to the forums. And enjoy!

most definitely. 1040, you should be fine. I started a continental pilsner that had an OG of 1.050, and I'm looking for a light, but packing an alright punch ale. Fermentation (with German ale yeast*liquid*) enough for airlock activity happened between 12 and 14 hours. It's been going nice so...

I have a bottling bucket, and I'm basically using it for the primary. Should I have used the better bottle? I do have a bottling wand. Basically it goes in the bottom of the bottle, and when you lift up it stops right? I am reading into that right now. Thanks a bunch! Ok cool, I read...

No doubt. that was all in the plans. I appreciate the timely responses. So, more ABV%!!! WOOT! this is going to be a great first time brewski! I am recording everything, so I will have to experiment. I have another quick question since you're here: I am planning on starting a new batch...

HAHA! Pharmaceutical grade plastics are just about the same as food grade. I agree, check the number. 1 or 2 and you wll be drinking great beer in no time! RDWHAHB.

oh cool. But this was the process, maybe It wasnt too bad/good but just right: I have a 5 gallon aluminum boiler pot. I boiled 3 gallons first, and put the "clean water" into my secondary and capped it (sanitized first of course) after cooling it down to about 85*. Then I heated 2 gallons...

Hey peeps, I've been wanting to brew my own beer for 3 years. I finally went out and got a real kit (not Mr. Beer). 6.5 gallon fermentor bucket, 6.5 gallon better bottle (I have a 2 1/2 year old, so the glass carboy sounded too dangerous to take the chance), airlock, auto siphon, and all the...

Wow! I was thinking about using a turkey fryer for the next batch to get a whole boil instead of the BS half and half I did with my first batch. Thanks for the info. BTW, I'm thinking around my 10th/11th batch of switching to kegs. That setup looks awesome!

Hello everyone, I'm peepfoot. I'm new to brewing. I finished my first "Brew Day" on Saturday, and teh yeast kicked in about 12 hours later. I think everything is going to be just fine. RDWHAHB. I am making a continental pilsner. I plan on transferring this to the secondary once I have a...
