I'm drinking a stout I brewed awile back using Lavlin EC1118 Champagne yeast .Its dry ,hoppy and very high in alcohol but light unlike an Imperial.

I have 1 lb of dried hibiscus flowers and 10 lbs of honey. What else could I add to the depth of flavor . I have 6 lbs of mixed berrys and I do like the Celestial Seasonings Wild Berry Zinger tea.

A step drill bit or uni bit is what I use

I like using a lot of honey .I feed fermentations by adding doses of slightly diluted honey . Regularly feeding your fermentation breeds strains of higher alcohol tolerant yeasts.

Boil a quart of water then add 4 to 7 lbs of Honey then add to fermenter. Alcohol will come up nicely.

I take a length of 1 1/8 " clear hose and shove it into the mouth of my carboy.

Right now I lack funds to buy proper bottling or kegging stuff ,so for now 1 liter and 2 liter High Pressure carbonated soda bottles will work just fine . No joke ,They work pretty damn good and they have an pretty high pressure rating for beer. Mason jars will leak .They are made to work in...

I was just about to comment on the positive pressure , Ya beat me to it. Had that one happen a couple times before I started doing a blow off hose for a few days on everything no matter what just to be safe. Never start a fermentation without one if your going to be absent . Always . The blow...

Honey is a lot classier for kicking up the alcohol than rice syrup solids

I use several honeys in mead . When alone it has a distinct flavor or with other fruits or spices .But in a honey beer or a Braggot the malts and hops overwhelm everything.

I didn't notice any distinct flavor of honey ,Just a lot of alcohol.

Dehydrated Honey 100%

After getting sloshed on a buddy of mines home brew ,which tasted very good .He informed me he added two 3 Lb cans of powdered honey into his wort . Weird but doesn't taste bad at all.Very high alcohol too

I've done several meads that went on for around 2 months at least. I occasionally broke the yeast cap and de gassed it several times but when it was done and It aged several months it was like champagne. Just let it go till it stops.
