A bump for a new year- the blackberry has a great color and ill be transferring today so I'm excited for that. The bummer however is that my first mead jug actually split near the plug and I found it full of fruit flies :( so I decided not to make anymore till I find out how good the blackberry is.

I guess the take I have on these is a bit unique where I haven't ever had a mead before so I'm just sorta flyin by the seat of my pants. I sorta went into this mead thinking it'll be like a heavy hardy dark sipping thing. I'm not sure how a mead is supposed be so I'm just throwing stuff together...

I did actually, slightly on the strong side but over all not bad. But I see what you mean now that I think about it. Well- I'll let you know down the road how it turns out. I think my next one I'll use a wildflower honey, something a bit lighter

So I tried this funny little milk jug mead... Had very low expectations. Started 9/8/12 till today and this little bastard has been bubbling like crazy! It's 3lbs honey, a large handfull of raisins and about a half of a huge orange I had layin around. I used a dry ale yeast also.. Just ran...

Buffalobrewer- the first was a cream ale, i used a kit from Niagara trad. brewing, and i'm thinking I didnt use enough priming sugar per bottle. the flavor was great though. the second is a pils/lager also from NTB.. this came out better but still slightly short on the carbonation. i live in...

whats up everyone, glad i found this forum because i have now- and will have many Q's down the road. im on my 3rd home brew, first 2 came out great aside from lack luster carbonation.. but i really enjoy brewing! been a huge beer head for about 7 years now- and always looking for new stuff. i...
