    Birch Beer

    No, I did not die ��. It was tasty. I bottled it before it was done fermenting so it was not dry. It bubbles like crazy. I lost only two bottles. If I do again, I'll let it ferment more and maybe use a different yeast. Very sweet with wintergreen flavor.

    Lagering in snow?

    Birch Beer

    Thanks for the bump....My family and I have made Birch syrup before and harvest it like maple syrup (make that too) I made some changes to the recipe but attempted it for the most part. I used 9lbs of honey and threw in .5 of brown sugar (for giggles). 4.5 gallons of Birch sap (white) with 15min...

    Birch Beer

    I am in the process of trying to make something for family members. I do not know much about mead, would this be like a mead do to the fact that most of the fermentables are honey? I have birch sap as my boil water. Could I use mead yeast to do this? I punched in the numbers into a brew program...

    Lagering in snow?

    I figured there was some risk but it was an experiment. I am priming it with dextrose. ...maybe force carb next time. Course I hope we never see that amount of snow without melt ever again.

    Lagering in snow?

    Is it wise to make a first post a resurrection of a thread? IDK. But here it is. I've made a few brews in my short experience and have surfed the forum a little. I'm making my first non kit beer, happens to be a lager (as opposed to the ease of the ales I've done) and gonna lager it in a snow...
