Copper sulfate and copper racking tubes are actually still in use with winemakers today. It's really the only way to fix sulfide issues. The best this is to avoid sulfide problems is to make sure you use the appropriate amount of yeast nutrient so the yeast don't starve. It is important though...

Thanks. Yeah ithaca is pretty candid on their site. I've never brewed with brett and I haven't done any research into the difference between strains. I guess it's time.

What brand are you looking at? Lalvin ec-1118 is a pretty hardy, safe yeast. Try each one in a small mead batch and see which you prefer. This might cost a bit more at first but once you find which yeast ferments to your liking just stick with it. Cheers/

Do any of you have one? Their site gives a pretty clear description of whats going on but my SO wants this bad and I'd quite rather hit it on the mark haha. I already have a few belgian recipes and a couple have high banana/bubble gum ester profiles that I might be able to tweek closer to...

Thanks for the input! It's actual honey btw not honey malt. I think I'll make two batches this time to see the difference between them and go from there. Thanks again!

Sweet. When I used cherries they gave a tart tannin flavor to the beer. I'm not saying this will happen to you necessarily but just an fyi.

Exactly

meh, it's all about the market share for them. Their beer won't have half the soul that the little guys will have.

No, you want a very easy pour with little to no disruption. You will not get that with a kitchen faucet. That and cleaning it will suck.

Steal a keg from Budweiser. No worries.

Yeah I am really trying to move to kegging. It just seems like such an expense being about $300 to start! I know nothing about it to boot lol.

tis a bit different around here hondo lol. A gallon of water is almost 2.50 also I'm a bit lazy with my sanitizing. I fill tubs with a water and bleach mix to sanitize my bottles. It's not the brewing that is expensive its the 60 gallons of sanitizing water that gets expensive lol. I'm sure...
