Hey all, so I did a search and was surprised that I couldn't find anything on this topic. Assuming I can heat my oven as low as 150, does anyone see any problem with me using my bottling bucket, a false bottom/big grain bag, and an oven to keep the mash warm? Moving soon, and trying to...

So I was at the local orchard the other day, and decided to buy a few gallons of fresh (unfermented) cider to make hard cider. I gave it a taste and enjoyed it so much that I decided I wanted to brew it in a way that keeps as much of the original flavor as possible. Also, this recipe is a huge...

I found a kit to ferment your own 20% ABV Liqueurs on Midwest Supplies, and was wondering if anyone has used it? If so, how and how well does it work?? Here's a link to the product http://www.midwestsupplies.com/other-products/liqueurs/classic-liquors-kits.html

So I'm getting a light scottish ale recipe off a HB website and it seems like it's missing something to me: 3.3 lb. Gold liquid malt extract, 1 lb. of Light DME, 4 oz. Brown Sugar, 12 oz. Crystal 40L, 4 oz. Chocolate Malt specialty grains, 8 oz. Maltodextrin, 1 oz. Tradition pellet...

So i could be breaking some cardinal rule by even asking this, but when making cider earlier in the year I cam across a lot of opinions that said if you want to drink this stuff right away, a good idea is to cold crash. Would it be ok to crash my mead with chemicals to leave some...

This is is my first mead. I started 2 gallons of Malkore's (not so) Ancient Orange Mead, and OG read at 1.075 (i figure that probably low for a mead, but i decided to just run with it). Today, i took another reading and saw that the SG had actually gone up to 1.08! I assume this just has to so...

This is the first attempt at brewing hard cider. I've kept the recipe very simple so far, just with 2 gallons of cider from the local orchard and about 3/4 a cup of brown sugar. I let it brew for about 2 days and tasted, and it tastes sweet, but somewhat bland, like apple juice. Although...
