I'm hoping to create a tier setup. I have a keg that needs a transformation, 5g kettle, 10g mash tun cooler. The table looking thing I got free at work. It's a wall mount rack for networking equipment, it should work for mounting the burners since the top is full of threaded holes. The problem i...

Two quick questions/clarifications... I'm using pectin enzyme for the first time. The directions say 3/4 tsp per gallon in crushed fruit or fruit juice, so if I have one gallon of fruit in a five gallon batch should I only add 3/4 tsp or times that by 5? Also using nutrients for the first...

I'm starting to second guess myself on how much priming sugar I used please help. I have about 4.5 gallon of ESB and directions said to use 3/4 cup of dextrose, but I didn't have any so I used table sugar. I looked on several priming calculators and they said around .26-.3 cups so I used 1/3...

This is my first mead. I made it about three weeks ago and was planning on racking in a few weeks, but I keep reading threads that say to rack it sooner. Unfortunately I didn't have a hydrometer at the time so I don't have an OG. Today I decided to siphon some out now that I have a hydrometer...
