Fully glazed like in ceramic glazing? Is this to prevent leaching from minerals in clay or to prevent leaking? I know that the romans did resin treating of their wine-holding clay. Standard non-glazed well cooked clay wont do?

Does anyone has experience, or at least given thought to this subject? Bulkg aging or storing mead in any sort of clay vessels, like amphorae? What about fermenting it? I guess anything that can hold the fluid can be used to ferment it, but there is something mistical about this.

Thank you very much! I will be buying cubes. However If using chips (that's what I have at hand, but I think I have a lot of time until it settles down so I can order cubes) tasting time gets reduced to what, 1 week each time?

Well, this is my first serious mead. Using Lalvin K-1 Montpellier as my yeast, and a locally produced Venezuelan honey which the producer claims that its beehives dwell near Orange plantations and vast plains were Mentha suaveolens (locally known as Mastranto), grows wildly. Honey had an...

So, after three weeks in bottle conditioning (half of the batch is on bottle conditioning and then going to lager, other half is lagering first and then I am going to bottle condition it, to see how it goes) I decided to pop one open. Curiosity was killing me so I decided before I lager them...

Gracias! Si mucho ha cambiado. Yup. Even polar is going scarce. Government is not giving them dollars to import material for making cans and bottles, and the Valencia processing plant shut down because of this! I am not very aware of Belgian Beers, at least at brewing level (I have tasted...

Well, there is in fact a large group of people who brew! In the last couple of years homebrewing beer erupted as a fever. There are at least 10 independent "brands" so to speak, which for our situation, is a lot. Some of them have started conducting comercial operations and sell their products...
