So, I entered my first competition this past week. It was the Boston Homebrew Competition on the 27th of February. I think I've checked the website for results every hour on the hour. Mind you, I have no delusions that I'm going to win or even place. I did it mainly for the experience and...

I have a strawberry melomel kit from AHS and I'm getting to the point in the instructions to stabilize and clarify. It states that after adding potassium metabisulphite and potassium sorbate that I should "de gass the mead for two minutes". What exactly is "de gass" I want to assume that I...
