Many ways of filtration.... i am using 10 and 1 because of the floccu ISSUE.. when it floccuated well.. with 1 micron filter only it was WHITE WINE CRYSTAL MEAD hehehe

I've been cold crashing + filtration. First 10 micron and then 1 micron filters.. But for example I have a client that like it with the Yeast all in there.. Knowing that we can´t let the kegs get WARM or BAM!

No, currently i am not backsweetning because it is easier for me to control the final taste of the products for some particular clients.. We've made several test batches to present to these clients without adding honey after FG reached and I cannot change them now.. Apart from those I made...

HI!, some updates here. Yes Wine yeast are low floccuating compared to beer yeast you are totally right on that. Since my last post I made several batches, and also used the SAF Cider AB1 which i already used before (it gives some apple taste there).. different nutrient.. and this time it also...

Hi @beermanbelly, Yes i've read everywhere that boiling helps the clarification.. While boiling removing what goes to the top.. I believe something of the WAX also if it not removed while harvesting the honey. My batch is 500+ liters... but i took a sample and it is much more clear than the...

Hi long time. I return with a question. Do you heat or boil the must? I will try boliing this one I am making right now. I have done several batches, no heat, heat 70°C and BOIL. I think boliing is best but honey will lose some good properties there

Hi!, I am heating the honey exactly as you described and then adding it to the must.. Also I tried several procedures: Boiling, Mixing Water and Honey (Basic) and "pasteurizing" must at 150F for some minutes. Same results I prefer heating everything to kill whatever could be there .. About the...

HI!, thanks for the quick response.. Never used metabisulfite and I think i will never use. But was just an idea as it kills the yeast but it has flavours and other things that i don't like. Some things: I am using raw unfiltered honey (haven't ask the type because it was supplied to us). KC...

Hi Everybody. I am posting this because I had an issue while making mead using EC 1118 Yeast. I've been brewing Beers and Meads for a while now and never had issues with sedimentation till now. 500 Liters Mead Yeast = EC1118 Nutrient = Fermaid K (Staggered + Sugar 1/3 Break) OG= 1095 FG= 1039...

Hi!.. how did the process ended??? I have now my first IPA in UNITANK. (130 lts aprox). 6 days ferment + 2 Temp free, removed trub 1 day, dry hop (Aprox 500grams of hops, quite dont remember right now) 5 days, COLD CRASH 4 days BUT! one day i got problems with my electricity and temp raised to...

Forgot to ask you.. batch size?.. Mine is 120lts

Perfect. I'll set the flowmeter at around 1 lpm and check results next time. mi oxy tanks regulator is fixed on 1 bar (hope there is no problem there).. Do you own a DO meter o something?

Hi! Thanks for the answer. Tomorrow first batch with it. I have the wetting pressure already. So for now i am going to hit that pressure for some minute or two.

Hi, everyone!. I've just received my first CARB stone for my Conical fermenter (125L) (Spunding, PRV and all other accesories in place). Tank of CO2 an Oxigen ready (Both with Flowmeters) Two things i've never did: 1) Oxigen the beer with equipment. Is there any calculation for it or should i...

Hi Golddiggie, thanks for the info. Your plan is to force carbonate (after reaching 35F)?. Because reaching that temp with low PSI the beer will be under carb. Im new to conical as well, i have 3 different conicals tested and only one has a leak so i did not used it (for now). THe first batch...
