Thank you, Rich. Never heard of BBKA but will google it.

Thank you, Dan! I think I should try them....

Thank you for your input, Maylar! I understand what you are talking about and completely agree with you but.... those two sites you mentioned in your post a bit expensive for me, especially if buying in smaller quantities... Oh, well.... Thank you again!

Hi everyone! At this moment I kind of fed up with Costco or Sam's club honey (while it cheap - it's not real honey. It doesn't say that this honey raw and unfiltered. On the label it stated "grade A") sooo.... I am planning on buying 60 pounds of honey from reputable source but I have a dilemma...

Thank you, Maylar! This is much easier.... Everyone participated - my huge thank you to you!

Thank you doug! This is not that simple for me :confused: so I got break my brain a bit... Ha-ha!

I am OK with 15-17 ABV and I am perfectly fine with this as long as it ages for couple of years.... Personally, I would not go beyond 17% ABV but once again - this is my personal preferences... My point was how to calculate ABV after you add additional honey during primary fermentation...

Thanks, mac! This sounds like an easy calculation....

Hi ladies and gentlemen, I remember I already read about this on this forum and even saved that discussion to certain location (folder/subfolder) in a "MEAD" section on one of my drives but cannot find it now.... Way too organized... I cannot remember how to calculate ABV when you add...

I have two: three and one gallons Concord grape pyment fermenting for 5th day. OG was 1.110 for three gallons and 1.120 for one gallons. Yesterday (4th day) was last day feeding with Fermaid O and I measured gravity and it was 1.021 & 1.029 respectively... If gravity goes below 1.000 I will add...

This is exactly what I do to sanitize bottles....

Hi everyone! I know this question was discussed on this forum time ago but I am still unclear what and how to achieve my goal. I have this fridge for one and a half year and although it 4.4n Cu.Ft (large enough) I would like to keep my CO2 5-pounder outside of the fridge. I use 3 gallons keg and...

I have 3 packets of 71B with expiration date in June of this year so I would like to use them all especially they work well to make cyser. Thanks!

Thank you, bernardsmith! I didn't provide the recipe because I wasn't sure it was necessary... Here it is: My fermenter is 4.2 gallons. Approximately 2.0 - 2.5 pound of honey per gallon or until SG is 1.100 - I prefer to bring ABV to 13% or at least 12%. I use Costco honey. I know, I know -...

Unfortunately this is not possible: depending on whether the temp can go up to 75 in my garage and up to 70 inside the house.... and there si no way I can lower it... :( Do you think 1118 or 1116 would work better ? BTW, D47 can tolerate the temp in range of 50-86 °F... Weird...
