Hello everyone, So recently I decided to try my hand at Lambic brewing with some of the local critters near where I live. I'm pretty new to this concept, so if any of my terminology or procedures need work, please correct me. Basically, what I did was make up some low gravity wort and set it...

Hello All! Lately I've been obsessed with buttery MLF'ed Chardonnays such as Toasted Head and Kendall Jackson. So I started thinking (which is always dangerous) about how I could apply this to a mead. Toasted Head is barrel fermented, which adds some very nice character which I'd like to...
