Hi all I made a mead on the 17th of feb and about a week ago it was completely see through. I moved it to a new location so that I could bottle soon and now all of a sudden it is producing small bubbles like it is carbonated or some such thing. At this stage last week there was no motion or...

One question in regards to the use of oak with mead, is it re-useable or after one batch do you toss it. Thirsty Vine

Hi brewers, I have been brewing for a short time using cans and have been experimenting a bit by adding various ingredients to the mix. I am now looking to step it up a notch but am wondering what to do next. As it is I don't have a heap of time and the cans were good for this. However what do I...
