I wonder if the Wyeast cant tolerate above 13% Mine finished out in the 18-19 range and very dry after adding the Lalvin 1118. I was trying to recreate some Rocky Mountain Mead I sampled. There were plenty of cherry trees in the back yard.... My Lab loved to eat the low hanging fruit and...

I have used this yeast before and had to repitch with lalvin on a dry cherry mead. I would recommend that, or add another pound of honey- or better yet do both. I wonder if Rien Poortvliet intended his drawings as beer labels.........I probably shouldn't complain as I will use Maxfield...

He is toting a barrel of beer in his cart....... How do I go about determining which shoots to pinch off? Last year I had about 10strong shoots - it was easy to tell, now Im not so sure....

I have a Belgian Lambic partial mash recepie that calls for 5 pounds of Wheat DME. Can someone suggest an all grain substitution for the DME? The only other grains are 8oz carapils and 8 oz German Crystal. This is supposed to be a 5 gal batch. 6# of malt just seems a bit low. Randy

Oh boy, I do have some stir plates and Flasks, and a bunch of those plastic vials that White Labs uses, I think I'm gonna start a propagation this weekend. Would any/all Rogue ales be viable options for this experiment? Would 12oz or bombers be better for this. If I put the beer in my...

Your recepie please... and a follow up review....... the wife would love this style and any chance I get to 'loosen her up' a little bit would be beneficial:D

You are right it does come zipping out of the line, if you put a venturi type valve inline, you could regulate the flow that way. I always thought its was somewhat norm to have that much flow.:drunk:
