I put them in a box to help regulate temperature and they are plastic bottles by Mr.Beer hopefully they dont bomb on me well thos is my forst time so ima gonna hope for beginners luck and well I am gonna buy a hydrometer so I can check in the future lol

Everything had settled and it was brewing for 14 days

Well I bottled up my brew and had a little left over so I drank it it wasn’t nasty tasting but it was strong omg it was at least 17% Alcohol it tastes like The Wicked Hops IPA’s but stronger

I will be buying some regular yeast tho and well I live in the middle of nowhere so I might be able to use the distillers for well you know lol

I am going to stick with the low temp fermenting it doesn’t seem to have the nasty taste that everyone is talking about so I am gonna see what happens thanks for the feedback I greatly appreciate it

I used distillers yeast to make a mead like beer without any nutrients

Since I messed up and used the wrong type of yeast should I ferment at a higher temp than 70 degrees or should I keep it at the current temperature?

I was going for the Aroma not the bitter my sample smelled and tasted good but after looking at my fermenter I think I will have to let it set for at least a week or more

Thanks for the info I am learning as I go

I didn’t boil my Honey I boiled the water and added the honey to it when it cooled

I do and that sounds like a fun little experiment thanks for the insight

Good cause I hate cats so Ima gonna break all the rules and traditions 😄😄😄

I will and thanks for the feed back I appreciate so after I bottle it I am gonna have to let it age for a month or 2 or could I get away with 2 weeks I think an experiment is in order will post about both

I am taking notes and learning a lot in a little time I appreciate all of the input and advice that has been given so far and I’m look forward to any and all tips and tricks that you guys have learned so far. Thanks to everyone that has posted

I have a digital scale have had it for years don’t judge lol I bought a pound of distillers yeast which says up to 22% I will check out those products but first I am gonna see how my current batch turns out
