Ah, explains why I didn't see it. Thanks for the quick reply! Always looking forward to see what you publish next!

I must have missed this entirely. Does 71B work for the BOMM, then?

Thank you! I must have missed that somehow. I will have to try 72b for my next one since I already have the CBC-1. I started a cider with it a couple weeks ago.

The liquid yeast is a giant pain in the arse to get out in my area so I plan on using CBC-1 to make a BOMM. I'm going to use clover honey for it to. We'll see how it turns out.

I use an inkbird you control my temperature. So far it has worked perfectly. Unless your garage is well insulated you will need a freezer that is rated for outdoor use.

I just racked my first JAOM off the fruit, and put all the yeast and mixed up mead from the bottom of the jug into a water bottle. After being in the fridge for a couple days it cleared up nice for me to taste it. It's a little hot but I am very impressed. It's freaking delicious. This will be...

8 I definitely see where you are coming from but this specific recipe calls for Wyeast 1388, which is relatively cheap unless shipped. Which is my only option.

I know absolutely nothing about this side of mead making. So every detail that I can get is necessary. Is there any literature that can be recommended? I need to not blow my budget on something then screw it up right off the bat.

Do you have more info on this? It sounds like this would be the most helpful for me. Does letting the mead go dry hurt the yeast at all?

So, I read somewhere that someone makes the BOMM mead per the recipe, but they reuse the yeast cake because they find the yeast to be expensive. I have to order it, so I do to. Prohibitively so. I think I read that they just siphon off their mead, dump all new ingredients in, and let it do it's...

Thanks for replying! I just saw it, I have no idea how lol. I don't make beer so I'm not worried about the keezer thing. Just wine, mead, and cider. I measured my jugs set in a square and 14"x14"x16" would work great . That's with airlocks instead of blow offs. I didn't find any of the small...

Anybody?

I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction here. I only do 1 gallon batches, and I would really like to be able to do 4 at a time. Is there a mini fridge out there that can handle that? Pictures and links would be fantastic. I just plan on controlling it with an inkbird. Thanks up...

I wish I had a bottling store! Without exaggerating the closest thing to me is 4 hours away. Mostly, I use Amazon.

I agree. It was eye opening.
