Get some....please!

Big money, big money.....:mug:

+1 on the floating/grinding--i bought a handheld coffee grinder Im gonna pulverize it with next go round How'd the mead turn out? I have 15# of honey a friend sent me from Hawaii to make mead with....never thought about using nibs.

My sugestion would be to take an oz of nibs and boil them in a gallon of water(or gallon of water and some dme) and taste. It really is quite subtle. I have a feeling that under the weight of 6#s of raspberry puree you'd be safe betting that 8oz would not be overpowering.

Will do! I have a room in my house I installed a window unit in to keep it @ 69F-71F...which my wife appreciates since I wont let her turn the house AC below 78F!

Thanks for the advice...just wasn't sure how to proceed...or when to be concerned! Will continue exercising patience(which I believe to be the hardest lesson to learn in making your own beer)!

On the weekend of National Home Brew Day(May 3rd) I brewed a Barleywine. I used California Ale V Yeast(Whitlabs- WLP051). My OG was 1.104. I left in my primary @70 Degrees Fahrenheit for 2 weeks. I moved to my Secondary for another 2 weeks @ 70F, and then bottled(The FG had came down to...

Thanks...should've searched first!

Does Fermcap have any negative effects on the finished product(Head retention, taste, etc...)?? I know they say it doesnt...just wondering from experience? And anyone have any idea what dimethylpolysiloxane really is? --DO
