Has anyone scaled this up to doing it in a 6.5 gallon brew bucket. I've read enough that I want to try it but, if it's good I wanna have lots of extra to share and partake in. Thanks, J

I've since switched to all grain but would happily brew this extract recipe again. At almost a year in bottles its really taking on the deep rich chewy chocolate taste that I knew it would.

Brewed today, 5.5 gallons of a 1.1 og brew. And a party gal brew with the second runnings.

What temp should the 11 gallons of strike water be to obtain 149

I haven't hopped one yet but, I did get some responses last week https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/hopped-mead-454929/

So 5 days after my last post and now they are over carbed. I guess I got excited and made a rookie mistake and didn't check gravity. Oh well I put them in the fridge to calm the yeasties. Even over carbed it's still damn good.

Thanks, I'm going to give it a go.

Has anyone back sweetened with apple concentrate and brown sugar and stove top pasteurized? Sounds Delicious and deadly!
