if you have any good recipes let me know.
i tried making joes ancient orange mead but i havent gotten the yeast to foam yet so i dont think the batch is going to brew.

Oh nice steal! Did you find a mead to start up yet or still seeking?

Steed · Nov 28, 2015

Give it time. JOAM is a great first brew. A quick guess at what the stuff retails for... You made out like a bandit. That's around 300- 350.00 worth of stuff.
Get a book, take a class at a home brew store and you are well on your way to a surprisingly addictive hobby.
A thought occurred to me. How old is the yeast? Your JOAM might not be fermenting because the yeast is old or dead.

Thanks! Well it's been about a week and the JAOM is bubbling every second! It's really taken off. I want to look inside to check it out but I will hold off until fermentation is over.
I am glad I got a good deal hopefully this stuff makes some good brews!
