Yay, I like things!

so I've never made mead before but I've had a few beers ferment so quickly that literally over night fermented out and Krausen fell back into the beer before morning and it was pretty much totally fermented out. just a thought. also I thing you might have meant a different gravity number or...

bummer! sounds like you need to take a day trip to some good river banks and load up!:rockin: we usually hit the rivers up and get more than we even know what to do with.

cool. I hope it goes well for ya. I have never turned back from fermenting in kegs. I get great results and no problems or worries. good luck and have a cold one for me!

I use unmodified cornie's for primary. I do 12gal batches and split it between three cornies. I just unscrew the pressure relief valve and a piece of bev tubing will "thread" into the relief valve hole and an airlock fits right into that. or just use a longer piece of tubing and have a...

This is super cool. I wish you the best!:mug:

I would say that you've over carbed the beer. but you can fix this in two shakes of a beavers tail! just purge your keg and relieve all of the pressure and than hook the co2 gas line to your liquid out post at 12psi until it stops bubbling and than relieve the pressure and repeat about three...

I would ferment the whole shebang in the 1/2 barrel and pick up a drilled stopper for an airlock for it or just cover with some sanitized foil pressed around the neck. I usually skip a secondary and just do a month in the primary unless I'm being impatient. than just rack into your sanitized...

here in Tualatin oregon we have been picking black berries for a few weeks now and just got like ten pounds Saturday on the side of the path to the local park on the way home from playing with the kids. made some yummy blackberry cobbler and froze the rest!

Lars... that's awesome, I love the stone top! I really like all of these nice wooden brew sculptures. Especially with all the big bolts and iron accents. I really need to go electric.

ya that's basically it. I have mason jars that I have previously sanitized and boiled water in them that I just pour into the fermenter as you stated and swirl around to break up the yeast cake and then pour into the jars until I have enough or there's just trub left and than I let them settle...

That's a sweet brick fire oven you got there!

the boil kettle burner is 20" tall at the top point wich allow's you to gravity feed into even a sanky if you want to. I just picked up a truky fryer burner and extended the legs.

ha..ha.. ya I actually own four but like to keep three full ones around just incase I run out mid boil, witch has happened. I like to keep a rotation. it really sucks to go fill up your tank mid brew!

Ok, well here we go, I'll finaly post some pics of my setup. I have been using a three tier gravity system, first pic untill I just got myself a pump yay!:ban: and now I have cut down my three tier to have a two tier with an elevated hot liquor tank for gravity sparge and dough in's. and a...

Ha..ha..I love Oregon!
