So, I have done two batches of JAOM (one with pith, one without) and a ginger mead that is aging. I added acid blend to it at the advice of my LHBS. I want to test the ph, and I would like to know what y'all use for testing. Thanks in advance.

I transferred a ginger mead to secondary yesterday and during cleanup I discovered a hidden crud catcher. I happened to sight down the tube, and noticed a single hop petal lodged in the siphon valve. I could not see this from any other angle. I have no idea how long it was in there. Like...

I have a ginger mead just about ready for secondary. I am thinking about starting an apfelwine on the same yeast. I am guessing I just need to get it back into suspension and let it go to town. If not, I should have a packet in reserve. So I have answered myself here, haven't I?

This is my first post as a new brewer. I got a kit for Christmas and started reading these forums before I even went and picked it up. For any other newbs out there, this is an incredible source of info. I brewed my first batch Dec 29. Ten days later the foam had dropped and bubbles had...
