Lets see how it comes out first!

Time will do the trick. Its the answer no one wants to hear, or as Hootie would say: Time is wastin', time is walking. You ain't no friend of mine. I don't know where i'm going. I think i'm out of my mind, thinkin' about time.

Also thought I'd share a link to cool unit for cold brewing coffee. I was a supporter of their during theirs Kickstarter campaign. http://www.bruer.co/ Expecting delivery any day now. Looking forward to using it for an Oaked Buttered Rum Coffee mead recipe I've been wanting to give a try!

I have found that it is hard to please most with coffee meads, but to each their own. Tasting B Nektar's Chazzano Coffee mead for the first time, I will admit I was not a fan, but that was because I had it well chilled from being in the fridge for a few hours. I tried it again at room...

Keep it simple and just use Lalvin CY3079. Imparts a nice chardonnay like buttery taste and aroma. Gives the mead a velvety mouthfeel as well. Slow to start, and slow to clear, but very cool yeast strain. 15 lbs honey for a standard 5-gallon batch 4g grape tannin (optional) 10g of CY3079...

I've made an orange marmalade mead with orange blossom honey that is to die for. Basically just dilluted the marmalade into the water before adding the honey. 71B as the yeast with a 1.040 FG Was brilliantly clear in under two months as well.

I would recommend D47 for cysers. It helps bring out much more apple character. 71B is always a good choice as well.

500-gallon reservoir tank for our RO system at the meadery getting installed this weekend.

Hey guys, just wanted throw out a link to our meadery's Kickstarter campaign. Hate to beg or spam so this will be my ONE post about it. We have only 9 days left and need some help reaching our goal by next week. Any pledge however big or small would be greatly appreciated. A simple spreading...

I would recommend to try using a nutrient mix addition of Go-Ferm and Fermaid-O the try and wake up the yeast a bit. Even though DAP is commonly used for yeast's source of nitrogen necessary in mead making, it can actually be harmful to yeast, as well as sometimes creating some sulfur like...

Thanks! And good luck with your project. Feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions. Always willing to help ith the growth of the mead industry. Others may say the same but, I have found that to be a bunch of bull. Have always been amazed over the comradery within the brewing...

Hahaa, thanks man. It's go big or go home in my opinion. Between my business experience being successfully self-employed for 4+ years, and the stellar recipes I will be debuting with, I hope to let the mead speak for itself and then do what I do best.

Definitely not far at all! I lived 10 minutes outside of Philly at one point. I'm shooting for a March opening right now, but follow us on FB and Twitter. I have been pretty active posting updates every step of the throughout our progress. Look forward to seeing you at the meadery! And...

You are correct, the BN was kind enough to help us promote the Kickstarter campaign I have going on. After all the equipment and renovations, we're running out of money quick! Trying to crowd fund some money to help pay for all the ingredients, bottles, labels, and closures...

I can definitely attest to the hard work! But even so, it has been an exciting ride thus far. Just can't wait to get some mead in these tanks already !

Hey guys, Don't want to get all commercial on everyone here so I'll keep it short and simple. I have been on the forums for a while and am a Lifetime member of HBT. So I am particularly proud to announce on here that I have decided to go pro! Opening New Jersey's first meadery which has made...
