Since doing a delicious lingenberry mulled mead..made 2 gal batch of sweet orange marmalade mulled mead. abv of 16% if all goes well. Just bubbling away.:ban::ban::ban:
12/31- failure in my opinion but will try again
Since being turned on to homebrewing in July 2013, I have made the following:
Hefeweizen
ginger-orange ale
choc/sweet orange peel ale
scottish ale
heavy malt ale
belguim trippel
belguim trippel 2
blue berry wheat ale
pineapple ale
hefe weizen kicker 9.1
hershey syrup stout
sunny D ale
rice ale...
I just try one gallon batches and mix it up with what I have. Amazingly...that sour apple/kiwi/veg was green and turn out nice beer color. Was going to do carrot one but the smoothie tasted like carrot out of the ground. blah.
I steeped some English choc grain malt, used plain malt, lactose fermentable, 16oz nestle quick. Trying coopers yeast, citra hops at end of boil. Will post my results:D 2.5 gal batch
I grabbed a couple of 32oz smoothies from supermarket( both had high sugar content). One sour apple/kiwi/veg and other strawberry/banana. I did one gal batches. I used lt plain malt and steeped the SKV smoothie. Threw in citra hops during the boil. Threw all together, pitched safale belgium...
Just experiment..find a recipe you will enjoy.Seems to me you want more of low abv session type beers. I on the other hand will be making a sunnyD ale.
The wort tasted good, OG 1.060, using a belguim yeast..question is should i have the pulp infermenting bottle.i did experiemental batch. Any tips for future?
:ban::ban:I have a lingenberrie mulled mead going and a sweet cherry vanilla mead going. I have read to bottle when clear. What is best way to carbonate, sweet mead. Could you use prime dose tabs that have their own yeast?
