Brewing this tomorrow with some 1318. I got some Nelson Sauvin for free so I’m going to try it with that instead of liberty. Thanks brau for the recipe!

Going to be brewing this soon so I can get a bunch of 1318 to start making your NEIPA! One question tho- In the recipe you have wheat...is it flaked wheat? Wheat malt?

So you first build a 2l starter then split that into 4 mason jars then build each of those back up to a 2l when you’re ready to use them?

How big of a starter do you make to have 4 mason jars worth?

I've brewed this recipe multiple times and it's always so damn good! My latest batch I added 0.5lb honey malt and so far the gravity samples have tasted amazing. However, I did forget to add the black pepper this time. There's still a nice spice characteristic tho. Must be from the 3711. Also...

20 days in and gravity has dropped from 1.150 to 1.027! Still getting some airlock activity too. Bubbling a few times a minute. Raisins and orange meat still floating on top, but most of the zest and some raisins have sunk to the bottom. The sample tastes pretty good. Definitely a little hot...

I'm in!

Last question - does the temp and time change if we're using bombers?

Lots of pages to skim through so I randomly picked page 86 and got the info I was looking for! Someone did 160 for 10 mins and was fine. My plan is put the bottles in the grain basket of the GF, let em sit in the water while it's heating up to 160 then hold it there for 10 mins. Will report...

Thanks! I know in your original post you say to bring the temp to 190, but do you think 170 for 15 mins would be okay?

Has anyone tried using a Grainfather to pasteurize? I could set the temp to 170-180 and recirculate the water with the bottles in the grain basket. It's just like mashing...but with bottles of cider :D

Good morning everyone! I currently have 2 one gallon carboys in my cooler with water. Every morning I put a frozen water bottle in there and the temp stays in the low 60's all day long. Thermostat in my apartment is set to 74* during the day and then 66* before bed (we like the place cold...

Oops not sure how this ended up in the recipe section. Could a mod please delete? I'm going to repost in the general mead section. Good morning everyone! I currently have 2 one gallon carboys in my cooler with water. Every morning I put a frozen water bottle in there and the temp stays in...

I don't have a spare fridge but I'm doing something similar with a water bath. I don't like the idea of waiting overnight to pitch, but I guess we have no other option!

Your sink water must be way colder than mine cuz that's exactly how I set mine up too. My immersion cooler isn't that big tho. I throttle my GF pump outlet to the point where it finished in 45 mins so that tells me it's slower than your flow. How fast are you running the sink water?

Gotcha, thanks for the info! I'm hoping that the D47 doesn't dry out the mead. If it does then I may have to back sweeten. I may make another batch soon, but with jackfruit instead of orange and only 3lbs of honey. The publix by me has grade A orange blossom honey that tastes delicious already...

Pear and dragonfruit sounds like a delicious combo! Did the mead retain those flavors since you had them in with primary fermentation?

Since this is my first batch, I'm probably just gonna continue as is so I can have a foundation to work with for future batches. I heated the water, 3.5lbs honey, zest, oranges, cinnamon stick, and clove to 150* and was stirring most of the time. The sample I took was from the top of the...

Just wanted to say thanks to Yoop for being an awesome contributor to this forum! Last night I made my first batch ever based on this recipe. I used one navel orange (zest and meat...tried to remove as much pith as possible), 3.5lbs orange blossom honey, 25 raisins, one cinnamon stick, and one...

How fast are you guys cooling/transferring the wort to your fermenter? Yesterday it took 45 mins and the wort was 78* in the fermenter. Still too high for my liking. I even made an immersion chiller to connect before the counterflow to cool the water before it goes through the counterflow. I...
