well, I hate to dig up an old thread, but we never found out how she turned out. Just ordered the lemon grass extract kit from AHS myself and i'm itching to find out what I'll end up with

Sorry guys, mine did not turn out as well as I expected (though I finished it all). The issue at hand is that I used too much "real" apple cider. Apple Cider, or un-alcoholic pressed cider, by nature is quite sour. This just may have been the variety I had purchased. Once you take the sugar from...

Let me know how it turns out. I'll add that this is the first real mead that I have made, and buckwheat does have quite a strong flavor on its own. I have made mead in the past but haven't quite had the patience to let it age out. I will add that this honey adds somewhat of a bitterness by...

Buckwheat honey IMHO is the best damn honey there is. I decided to make a rather low alcohol level mead with it (12%). I used a gallon of buckwheat and mixed the batch to come out to 4 gallons. It is almost ready for secondary. I snuck a taste the other day since I was taking a gravity reading...

OK, you have successfully made me try fermenting cider with Weinstephan weizen. Hope it turns out to be delicious. Here's what I have in the carboy at the moment: 4.5 gallons of fresh pressed cider. (That's all they had at the store, I cleaned um out) 32 fl oz bottle of *real* grade A...

Sweet! I will soon have a weihenstephaner yeast cake available once I put my next batch into secondary and apple wine was next on my list. I didn't want to have to goto the LHBS just to buy yeast. Now all I need to do is goto the grocery store and dump some apple juice on the cake. I think I may...

OMG this thread is insane. Anyway, I already killed my 5 gallons, made with ale yeast and it was delicious. However, a friend of mine, gonzoflick, brought over some using edworts original recipe, and I must say, dry is the way to go. It seems to have a much cleaner taste. And this is coming from...

Wow, this has got to be the best recipe I've ever seen, easy, cheap, and delicious. I used an english ale yeast and the FG came out to around 1.003 so it still has a nice bit of residual sweetness. I think next time I'll try it with some better apple juice though, I used some cheapo from...

Wow!! This is bull****. The entire point of having a LHBS is to help people with their brews and achieve their desired tastes. The entire home brew community is supposed to be a friendly group of individuals willing to help. Screw hearts! Anyone else know of another LHBS in the Orlando area?
