Hi all,
I´ve just started fermenting stuff, and have just done my second mead. I live in Brasil, and all breweing equipment I could get is beer´s. The vessesls are all right, but I had to use unproper yeast.
They are going great though, it just takes a lot of time.
But now I´m curious about beer breweing (our comercial beer is either **** or very expensive). I can get many good beer yeasts, malts. Just didn´t have the courage yet.
So I have a couple of questions to get an general impression.
Is beer breweing harder then mead brewing?
Does everyone´s first beer taste bad? Or is it possible to make an OK beer only with care, but 0 experience?
Does it require more atention (mead you can really just leave there and check rarely) and constant care?
Is Stout and wheat beer harder to brew then the thinner ales?
Is PH testing important in beermaking?
Is using any spring water fine, or should you look for specific waters?
And any other relevant advice you would give beginers
