Hi All, I am working to develop my contacts and get good local honey or at least some good varitals in good bulk prices. Mostly they say to contact the beekeepers themselves. I figured I'd get a shout out to see if anybody is going to do a group buy or even has done so with some good...

This may be a little more complicated but here is a simple glossery in no paticular order. Racking- the act of transfering your fermenting from one vessel to another leaving the sediment in the previous vessel, such as fruit and dead yeast. OG= Starting gravity prior to fermentation. FG=...

Hi All, I used to shop at Madahava's Honey in Lyons, CO. They used to have a 42 pound bucket size. Now only 60 pound by special 2 week poor. Also, the price went up. They are not only increasing their prices but don't feel that Brewers should get their wholesale prices. So they have...

Really, I am just in the theoretical stage of a recipe design. I just need some advice. I want to have a carmel flavored mead. My problem is that to make carmel it is essencially butter, milk and sugar as what makes it. I only have access to Alfalfa, Clove, and Wildflower honey. Adding...

I recently heard about this and heard that garlic mead was very good. Has anyone tried this or made this? It sounds like it might not taste good but someone I talked to said it was great. Just wondering. I was thinking on doing a Sage mead but have no recipies and have not been able to find...

I Live in Denver. I was wondering if anybody out there has any idea if yeast produces better at higher altitudes than at lower ones. I use primarily D-47 yeast and I seem to be getting VERY potent Mead out of it and I checked my brewshop and found that it actually is a yeast that has a lower...

I was contemplating a Peach mead with spirimint in it. Only I don't have much experience with mints. I was planing on using the leaves rather than an extract as I like to keep it more pure. Extracts are actually made by using alcohol to bring out the flavor. Only I don't know how many leaves...
