I have another thread with called barrel tower with this on it, but I wanted to let people know how to make a cheap tower without making it look too cheap like a pvc pipe tower. The allen + roth Toilet Brush Holder from lowes makes a perfect tower. It's 20 dollars and can be brass, chrome, or...
Made a few things, Tower, barrel cabinet, Drip tray, and Chalkboard tap handles.
Tower 60 dollars to make
Chalkboard tap handles total 5 dollars
Drip tray 15 dollars
Barrel and hardware and stain 100 dollars
tap light 3 dollars
Total 183 dollars
This is my first time of making a cider if you want to call it that. But I used
1 pound light pilsner DME
1 pound caramel 80L
.5 pound caramel 120L
.5 torrified wheat
4oz molasses
.25 oz perle hops @ 30min AA 8.0
.25 oz perle hops @ 0min AA 8.0
Brings me to 1.5 gallons of wort

Hey guys I'm pretty clueless and impatient, I don't want to spend 6 months on waiting for a mead that I made wrong.
I wanted to know what the quickest way to make dry mead would be, like could I rack it after a month and add some glycerine to smooth it out?
here's where i'm at so far

I'm a new homebrewer from PA, I've tried beer 4 times and each time it turned out too bitter on the finish. So I'm switching to mead for a little, then maybe a light beer and work my way up to an IPA.
