Welcome to the forum. I didn’t know there was spring water at West Meadow beach, might check it out. I’m planning a coffee mead, made with coffee blossom honey.Howdy, brewing mead in Smithtown using one or two fruits and herbs. Recent batches include beach plum, wineberry, prickly pear, ginger, reishi.
Anyone else going to West Meadow beach for spring water?
Some info on the West meadow beach spring at findaspringWelcome to the forum. I didn’t know there was spring water at West Meadow beach, might check it out. I’m planning a coffee mead, made with coffee blossom honey.
That’s correct. The method adds sooty and smokey notes to the brew… okay if it isn’t too strong, but I haven’t sampled or made one (from wort share) that was really “good”.Is a stein brew the hot rocks brew? Cause that’s cool as hell
I have read that essentally rinsing the hot rocks, by first dipping them in water greatly reduces the sootiness, but heat is also lost extending the time needed. Last year, I had a little misshape - my fermentor dropped into the street as I was loading it into the car and the bung I had in the lid went missing. Long story short, I poured off the remaining wort into a pot to bring to a boil and left a lot of black crud behind in the bottom of the original bucket. That made a difference in the beer when it was done, for the better.I know nothing about this style or how it’s meant to be made but could it be a flame vs ember problem? the flames causing too much soot on the rocks? Would it be out of bounds to do this with charcoal instead of logs?
A friend has 5 ball lock soda kegs available for free. They may contain soda or residue. He is near me in Rocky Point. He probably wouldn't refuse a few homebrews in exchange. Message me or reply here if you can use them.
Kegs are taken. Thanks to Hoppy2BMerry for delivering them. And for the beers!
I’ll have a bottle from John for you too.Yes looking forward to meeting you @Hoppy2bmerry - thanks for the assist there! And @JohnSand thank you as well - I’ll get you some beer next time up on the north shore!
I appreciate that, but there's no pressure or hurry. Hoppy2BMerry brought plenty of beer.Yes looking forward to meeting you @Hoppy2bmerry - thanks for the assist there! And @JohnSand thank you as well - I’ll get you some beer next time up on the north shore!
Sent a DM.Hey all, not expecting the answer to be "it's good" but I just posted this thread about this 10g rum barrel that has been sitting in my basement for a few years.
If anyone has any interest in the barrel for decoration or whatnot, I'd gladly give it away

Where do you buy bulk grain?
My last purchase of a sack was from Karp's. I was there on Friday, and they only had Maris Otter sacks, no pale or pilsner. The clerk told me that their supplier couldn't get enough employees to take orders, or drivers to deliver. Today I visited Tallmadge Agway in Riverhead. They had one sack of pale that rang up at $132. I said that had to be a mistake, so they checked and confirmed that due to increases in grain and shipping costs they had to double prices. So one place is out, the other is unreasonable. Any recent purchases?
