Good point sir.

Anyone ever try brewing an energy drink such as Monster? just curious.

Thanks bk0 and SagamoreAle that's good advice. I think will make a yeast starter and grab a hydrometer reading. I know now that the yeast is alive but working very slow. Needs help. But I will use more mead yeast instead of ale yeast. Thanks again for all the helpfully advice!

I didn't do an og. It is 2 gallons. No starter. I pitched 1/2 vile of white labs mead/wine yeast. A vile is for 5 gallons and I used half. I see very little bubbling activity. I should add more yeast it sounds like? I am new and most ppl said just add water, honey, and yeast. But after more...

Had about 80 degrees maybe a little hotter.

I am brewing my first mead. Kept it simple. Boiled about 3-4 quarts of water and added 4 pounds of blue agave nectar and stirred til solute. Added 1 ounce of cascade hops pellets. Pitch to a 2 gallon mr beer I wasn't using and stir vigorously before pitching the wlp mead yeast. I let I sit at a...

Driars I did a mash. Came out well. I added the honey after the boil and let it stand and cool before adding to the carboy. I don't have any experience with extracts. Thanks for the tip about enzymes 😃 Thanks Lexus Christ that is a lot of info and I will take that in mind on my next...

That is very usefull information. I have been hearing about a grain ( honey grain, I think ) I guess I wool do a little research on which will leave a decent residual flavor. Thank you for your help!

I already have 14 pounds of grain. 9 of which are two row. And I have 2 pounds of honey. As well as wlp001 California ale yeast. Was going to brew in my 5 gallon carboy with airlock. I figured I'd dry hop with a 1/2 ounce of hallertau.

I was wondering if any one had a good recipe. I am new this home brewing experience and so far enjoy it a lot. I have been doing so research on wheat beers and I think I want to do an American Wheat style with honey flavor. I wanted to know the best ways to keep a good honey flavor in the brew...

Sweet. I appreciate your help. I will be dabbling with aging my next few but for these two I wanted to have a sort of baseline to compare versus aged. how long do you typically age for and what does it do for the flavor of your brew?

Thanks a lot for responding! That is great news, to hear. I will add some nutrient. I will also dry hop since I wasn't planning on a secondary. Dld be nice 😃 On another note. I am also brewing a cider/apfelwine. Basically added about 4 and a half gallons of apple juice to a 5 gallon...

Sorry to invade your thread but your problem is close to mine and I can't figure out how to start a thread of my own lol I boiled about 3 quarts of water and added three 2/3 an ounce of cascade hops, threw in 4 pounds of blue agave. Boiled for about 30 minutes and added 1/3 ounce of hops and...
