Sorry, I did finally post the details, but I forgot to update this thread. Here's the link: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/diy-fermentation-temperature-controller-461611/

I've looked all over the internet and I can't find a source for sake bottles. When I say 'sake bottle', I mean the 6-8 oz screwcap bottles that sake is usually found in. Anyone have a source for these? Thanks.

True, peltier devices are about 4 times less efficient than compressor-based systems for cooling, however they are actually more efficient than standard resistive heaters for heating! Granted, cooling is generally more important than heating to most brewers, but take sake for example. When...

This is a project that I have been working on for some time. The goal is to heat/cool any fermentation vessel easily using a solid-state peltier device. To accomplish this, I used an Arduino and some computer cooling components along with simple plumbing and brewing accessories. If you're...

I just finished my first batch of JAOM. I started it at the end of August and here just 7 weeks later it's perfectly clear. I just took my first sip and I have to say it is the best mead I've made so far! Thanks Joe!

I started brewing wine and mead about 1 year ago. So I'm a relative newbie, but I have done a lot of research in that time. In my research, I have seen several different techniques for pitching yeast. Each one has proponents that state that their technique is the only way to go. Is there a...

Sielm, what did you decide after comparing your pasteurized and unpasteurized mead samples? Did it affect the flavor?

I'm just now getting into home mead making, but I recently realized that my summer basement temperature of 72-74F is too warm for proper fermentation. So I set out to use what I had around the house to make a chiller for my fermenter. I am a fairly accomplished DIY computer builder so I had...

Arpolis, Thank you so much for the detailed reply! That's exactly the type of reply I was hoping to get. Actually, I do like the taste of the mead as it is and the alcohol content is close to what I wanted, so I've decided I might be better of just sticking with what I've got now. I posted...

Hello all. *I have just recently gotten into mead making. *In fact this is my first experience with any sort of homebrewing. *As of this weekend, I've started about 10 batches of varying sizes (64oz up through 5 gallon). *With all but the first batch, I've had vigorous fermentation. My first...
