Ok.. you did what I did when I first started... basically played they will it ferment game, and threw crap into a pot and poured yeast on it. It makes booze, but not something enjoyable. What you initilly mixed up some would call maple wine, and they would be right. But you intended to "jack"...

If your just looking to do a gallon I suggest looking at the store for any beverage in a gallon glass jug. I used to buy one of the cheap robust reds in the gallon jug to make roasts and cook with. Take a look at JAOM its simple easy and makes a halfway decent product. Alot of us even like to...

I didnt just paint with a large brush intheswamp I busted out the HVLP spray gun. In my experience though its true. I know all about HFC being fed to bees during the winter, thats not What I was talking about. I have worked on 3 different "certified organic" farms, all three kept bees and sold...

This is why I homebrew, I love theres threads. I have had carrot and tomato wine. I liked the carrot, in fact i bought two bottles one went down my throat the other was used in a tasty beef carrot and leek soup. The tomato wine was pleasant but i immediately slapped myself in the forehead...

in repsonse to fat bloke [love the name btw] I intentionally didn't use some of my favorite yeasts like d47 or ec-1118, I wanted to use a cheap yeast, that I didnt have information on. This made me solely focus on the basics of yeast heath [proper nutrition and good cell health before being put...

I absolutely agree Most meads will improve with age, a certain sweetness seems to come back to them after a longer aging period and flavors seem to get stronger. This is more or less a kind of mannifesto to people curious about mead but keep getting turned off by "masters of the craft"...

I have read for years that mead has to be aged 1 year to be drinkable, tastes like solvent when you and blah blah blah. I've always thought it was a bunch of hooey and through recent tests have disproved this. Before you go flaming and saying "BUT THIS FAMOUS AUTHOR SAYS IT SO IT MUST BE!!" OR...
