I think I'm still a beginner to novice at this homebrewing gig, but it's a lot of fun. Here's my previous project, which was an apple mead: 1. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369207806550736900/484715442989039636/IMG_20180828_091310.jpg 2...

I brewed 2 batches in one day. Both were in 5 liter carboys. One had 5 liters of pasturized apple juice in it and the 2nd container had 4-4.5 liters of pasturized apple juice and 1800 grams of honey in it. The first batch finished fermenting after 2-3 weeks. I waited another 2 weeks before...

Yoohoo. I made 3 batches of mead a while ago with 3 kinds of honey and I found out the akacie/hickary liquid honey was pretty good and the wildflower solid honey was great on day 1 and then degraded in flavor over time. I guess it degraded in flavor due to me messing up with the sanitizer and...

It still refuses to let me edit. grrr. Anyway I managed to swirl the carboy around and the 3rd one is now evenly dark red/brown. My apartment smells wonderful btw. I suppose that's what happens when you open 15 cans of honey.

I don't know how to read a hydrometer, but the gravity said 30. Maybe I didn't have the honey properly dissolved at that time, but I did make sure to mix it really well and immediatly pour a sample. This put the sugar per liter at 55-60-ish.

Thanks to you guys my plans were improved and I moved on to using just 1 type of yeast that was made for mead and wine making. Here's a picture of 3 batches I made on my first night with acacia honey, mountain honey and real wildflower honey (meaning honey from all kinds of flowers that grow in...

Greats points, you two. I'll be using the yeast nutrient I ordered and add in the fruit when it's done fermenting or close to being done. My plan was to buy any fruits in season and use them on the spot or freeze them for later. I know some closeby farms that have freshly grown crops for sale...

wow I have a lot of homework to do. Thanks a lot for these links. I'll make sure to use them so I get it right from the first batch.

This is gold. Thanks a lot, kind stranger.

Thanks for the information. Maybe I could add some extra lemon juice after it's been aged and see how that affects it? I'd just experiment with some in a glass.

It won't let me edit for some reason, but I'll just say it here. I think I may need to lower the amount of honey and strawberries since I'll be using less water and the flavor could be too intense. Maybe I should lower it to 1400 grams of each.

Hi, I'm Ash and I'll be brewing for the first time next month so I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how I plan to do it. First I'm starting with 3 kinds of yeast to figure out which is best: Farmhouse Sour Ale - I like sour tastes WLP023 Burton Ale Yeast - The fruity flavors it...
