My most retarded mistake ever! :rockin: I brewed an American Wheat recipe from my LHBS fourteen days ago. I was checking the gravity two nights days ago just to see the progress and I accidentally read the brix units instead of sp. gravity scale on the hydrometer. I checked it twice and was...

Is it commen for the krausen in a mead to disappear and reappear? I've got a 1gal. honey-ginger mead going now about two weaks in and the krausen disapeared after the first 5 days, was still for 3 or 4 days, then reappeared in full force twice as high. Just curious if any one else has had...

So, I made some awesome ginger syrup about 3-4 months ago, and totally forgot about it in the back of the fridge because I've been making ginger beer instead of doing the syrup-mix thing. Anywho, I had some bottled sparkling water laying around this evening and I remembered the syrup in the...

I previously found a lot of information on doing sweeter ciders by using a dry (powdered) amber DME; however, I seem to NOT be able to find too much information on this idea now - must not have bookmarked it and my search skills just aren't working today. I recall reading that the result of...

Okay, so I did a bit of reading on this site and others over a few days, took some notes and sorta 'compiled my own' method to make a sweet cider. What I am wanting to end up with is a sweet, mellow cider with a good apple taste and not too high of an ABV. I am not looking for anything like dry...

Guten Tag, In addition to my other 50 hobbies, I am now excited to learn all I can about brewing and I'm glad there are such awesome communities online like this one. Sure, I enjoy going out to get a beer, but I'm the kinda person that follows the philosophy of 'if I can make it myself, I...
