hey ladies an gents, curious about a mead that is not sweet . love to be around 20% but i know thats tough. wanna try to put it on some oak cubes. I'm a big whiskey drinker and hate sweet stuff. should I be in the 3 lb honey per gallon range? using EC 118. I saw where one used 5 lbs per...

clean me up scotty! :)

nice!!!!!!

did the blueberry come through nice?

U CAN DOOOOOO IT!!!!!! lol

I tell ya, i did a wheat one time and I added around 4lbs of figs to the secondary. they spiked the abv up to damn near 9%. it was supposed to be around 6. it was line wine. lol mango has alot of sugar so I can't promise nothin cause I haven't used mango but it should raise it a bit.

i used wlp 380 for the first time in a wheat and its been slow as hell but tastin good. its been in the secondary for 2 weeks. the airlock is showin slow activity after i added 3oz of orange zest. but the gravity has been the same for almost a week. should i bottle? thanks alot God Bless

that's awesome man!

are u moving the carboys any after fermentation? i remember readin in palmers book that even handling the wort improperly can cause oxidation to the final product. maybe oxidation can be ur problem? just a thought.......

yes i use navals in my hefe all the time. ive gotten to where im addin 4 oz zest and 1/2 oz of corriander at flameout and then rackin to the secondary on a dash more corriander and another 5 oz of zest. love it! orangey as hell but after about 4-5 months bottled, it mellows and mingles so well ...
