Ha yes well RELATIVELY smaller 😜

Ha I like it! I wound up having so much grain in there that I hit my 1.1 OG on the RIS and still was able to make a 1.045 small beer with the second runnings. Now for the wait….

Haha yes… they say something like cry once… it’s a pretty good system so far. Brewing my second batch now- a big Russian imperial stout. Will see how it handles this big of a grain bill

Dammit, Jim - I'm a doctor, not a mathematician!

1 gal clove JAOM 1 gal wildflower JAOM 6 gal agave bochet 199.7

In continuation of this very old thread... what are people using for long term aging of such brews? Wine bottles? What type of corks? Any other special considerations for making such a long lasting mead? My daughter is due in September, so I'm considering doing something like this as well.
