Background (may skip, not too important but some detail) I'm helping my old man with his mead making, and I finally managed to talk him into making a batch with some awesome honey (he'd previously been using the cheapest one he could find). And as usual, he ignored half my advice and...

Is it female hops in the early stage? Found it a few hundred meters away from where I live. Sweden used to have a law that you had to grow hops in proportion to how large your farm was, so there's a tiny chance it's brewers hop and not the abundant garden hops you see in every other garden...

Found it on a Swedish site. That's the original latin. I'm gonna translate the Swedish translation. :P The recipe is from 77 AD, written by Plinius the Elder. Anyone wanna try it? :P There were some other old recipes, I might re-translate them later. A bit too tired right now.

I taught him how to make beer, then when he got bored of BiAB (it can get a bit cumbersome and messy) he made this. The HLT is 25 liters, and the MLT is 36 liters. Heating element is a 2.2 kW water boiler. He's gonna need a false bottom there. Looks a bit scary! German...

I'm helping my father with his home brewing (I'm a newbie myself :P), and out of the three recipes I made for him to start with I made one is an Imperial Pale Ale which I think he'll like. And recently, he bought three ordinary red chili he doesn't know what to do with - so I suggested putting...

I've been thinking of making a mini batch (ca 2 liter, max) of braggot using only chocolate malt. Probably one part chocolate wort and two parts mead. Then back sweeten it a whole lot, to counterbalance the bitterness. Thinking it'll either come out horrible, or friggin' awesome. But I...

I don't know much about kvass, but it doesn't seem to usually be made from honey, but I found a recipe with honey. Not really a mead, normally. Bread& Wine, Polish, European, Asian, cuisine: Lithuanian Honey Kvass Now I have a question, wouldn't 150 ml of honey be a bit much? When using...

I was bored, so I did this: Mini fermentor - YouTube Like the description for the video says, I just drilled a hole in the cap and placed the waterlock on it. 1.3 liters of water, 500 grams of honey and some Cooper Ale yeast (leftovers from their kits, since we never used the provided...
