OhioSteve, did you use the exact recipe from that link you posted? I'm going to attempt my first All Grain using BIAB with this one. Just wanted to know if you changed things like many other people did there.

Interested in how this turns out for you. Good luck

I'm interested in this beer as well. Subscribed. Please update your progress if you decide to brew it. I have the same concerns as you and I'm currently looking for a sample somewhere before I go brew 5 gallons.

So, at about 7 months I still have a haze in it. This is after isinglass AND gelatin for fining. I recently filled a 20oz soda bottle with it and added table sugar for some carbonation. After 2 weeks, it has some nice fizz and it did seem a lot better to drink. It was manageable. The rest will...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the reviews on here. Keep them coming. It sounds like a great product so far and I'm really enjoying the information/tips/complaints before I grab one up. The cost savings on this product versus a stainless conical fermenter seem quite obvious. Cool product...

Pontiac_guy........... When did yours start to taste good? Is there a strong apple flavor? And how clear did you get the mead? Just asking because I'm starting to wonder what I did wrong. Either way I will let it age until it's right I also used ground nutmeg so that might be why mine wont...

I just tasted mine today. Meh. Not so great. I'm at about 6 months right now. Very cloudy still and have tried isinglass and gelatin to clear it out a bit. They both did very little but it did help. I'm putting 3 gallons in a Better Bottle for long term aging. I hope that time will bring out...

I just transferred this to my secondary where it will keep till about December. The taste is not that great right now. No apple of cinnamon flavors at all. Almost a hot, floral taste. My SG right now after 25days is .996. Hopefully those flavors will come out after another 8 months bulk aging.

I found this site through a web search when I started brewing Beer, only a few months ago. So far, I've completed a Hefewiezen brew and it turned out great. When time allows, there will be more. For now I'm learning about Meads. I've made two different kinds this week and have yet to ever even...

I just followed the recipe from the original poster, except a little less honey. My OG came out to be 1.072. I used a Yeast Nutrient. I was impressed that I had bubbles in my air lock within 2 hours! This is my first Mead. I'm planning on it being ready by Christmas this year. Just to...
