Measure SG at 1.069 tonight so i re-fed and des gassed and snapped the lid back on. The taste was smooth and sweet, I can't wait to taste it next November for real!!

You're the first person to think she's actually 20' and not like 45+ Lol I wish I was in Kong Island, my next pet I'm hoping for are porcupines lol. I inherited the family farm young and go to college and collect strange animals to keep myself occupied.

Lol it's hardly a bathroom. It has a sink and toilet and shower, but I'm a guy and have 800 acres, i use that bathroom maybe 1 time a month. As far as a snake room, they take up quite a bit of space 😂

Unfortunatly not, I could probably keep it upstairs which stays 66-70 more constantly as winter rolls in. I was planning on doing this in my basement, but we're having it sealed and finished currently/throughout the winter so it's gonna be a mess. I can just be more dilligent about managing the...

I live on a farm and have a man cave in one of my barns. It's turned into my snake room/TV retreat room. I have a small bathroom in there that never gets used and isn't hooked up to the air or heat so I've been using it as my brew room (it never gets used, is more of a just incase thing)...

WE HAVE FERMENTATION!!!!! Ive got a bubble rolling out of the airlock once every 3-5 seconds. I degassed and plan on taking onther SG reading in the AM to see where we stand.

My only concern is my water wasn't warm enough rehydrating the yeast, the packet called for 104-109 and looking back it might have barely been 100. It just seemed like it cooled too fast.

Well I finally got this brewed today. I had to re liquify my honey this morning, and then everything went as planned. 5G brew, 71B and a whole bunch of honey and nutrients. Gotmead Calc said 1.108, I read 1.101 so I'm close. Hopefully I got bubbles soon, as I'm panicking a bit about it...

Okay. I e got them in my slow cooker with the temp set to 100* We'll see how they melt

So a month or so ago I got everything ready for a 5g brew, and then had to go out of town for work for 2.5 weeks and life is getting back to normal so I figured tomorrow when I get home from work I'll start the process (my first solo brew) Well I left my honey on my porch (enclosed but not...

I'm getting ready to tackle my first solo brew once Amazon delivers my yeast energizer and am getting all my ducks in a row. I need to sanitize everything obviously and am wondering which way everyone prefers to apply it. I have a spare 2G sprayer I was thinking of using. It seemed like...

Thank you!!

Okay so Ive done some more reading and calculating and i think Ive got everything taken care of EXCEPT for nutrients and how much to add... This will be my first non traditional brew (second ever and first without some ones help in person) Anyways here we go. 5 Gallon Lingonberry/Apple/Oak...

nothing to see here!

I guess recipe wasnt the right word for it, advice and knowledge from people that have made a mead over fruit would be a better way to put it. i would love to make the lingonberry/oak/apple but im worried about adding to much oak to the flavor, lingonberry and light apple could be easily...

So i few months ago I was going to make a lingonberry mead for my first attempt and come DDay i chickened out and made a normal honey mead. It turned out great, is bottled and aging and im moving on to the next attempt, with fruit and more flavor. So here is where I am torn. I am in...

So I'm getting ready to undertake my first brew and have a few questions; especially about fruits and amounts. I have (1) 6 gallon carboy for primary and (2) 3 gallon carboys to split into for secondary. I plan on doing 3 gallons straight mead, honey water yeast and age. The second one I...
