That's about what I added in the beginning. I used .5 tsp per gallon of energizer and 1 tsp per gallon of nutrient. That was what the manufacturer recommended, and it seems like they would know above everyone else. Perhaps I should add a bit more energizer. If you can get yours done in a...

I actually added both nutrient and energizer right before fermentation started. About how long should primary take? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I had a question about a mead I'm currently making. I'm making my first mead (just like everyone else who starts threads in this forum) and I've decided to try making it a traditional sweet mead (also just like everyone else in this forum!). I've got a 6 gallon batch with a...

Ok, this helps out a bit. I was wondering if a light extract would work. Is a light malt similar to pale malt? The recipe was for a bourbon vanilla porter I found online. It seems popular; it's got 40 pages written on it at...
