Oops! Sorry copied over from Facebook, changed the amount of grains I had left and never changed the first paragraph! Only enough left for 1 gallon recipes

Well, I've got a ton of extra grains and supplies laying around, so how about a few more recipes? I have empty 1 gallon jugs and a 7 gallon bucket and will have a 6 gallon glass open shortly. Here is my current list: 2# Pale Ale Malt 8oz Smoked Malt 10oz CaraAmber 8oz CaraPils 1# CaraMunich I...

Raisins don't add as much in the way of nutrients as some would have you believe. Using raisins as nutrient wouldn't qualify it as a pyment. Although I do an enormous amount of experimentation, I tend to keep my meads to style that I want judged at some point or another. These will be bottled...

Finally got a chance to taste my apple bochet again and it is FAN-FRICKING-TASTIC! Seriously, probably my favorite recipe now. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing how to make it exactly again. I am so tempted to just bottle it in a week or 2. Needs one last racking and some sorbate and...

Well that's because it's a braggot lol. More than half the gravity points end up coming from the honey, even though there is a couple pounds more grain than honey. But in a year or so, when it's ready I'll send ya a bottle lol.

By style, I mean BJCP acceptable. IBU's, color, abv etc. In the way of ingredients, I made a wheat n rye Saison over the summer that was one of the best I've ever had and didn't adhere to guidelines at all. I do see what you are saying when it comes to the caramel malts. I do have the option...

Looking for some feedback on a Smoked Maple Bacon Braggot. Folks at GotMead are experimenting with bacon so I figured I'd join in. More of an all grain beer recipe but more than half of gravity points coming from honey so I thought it would go best in mead forum. Mods feel free to move it to...

Will have some grains leftover from a braggot experiment. Looking for some feedback. According to Brewer's Friend, everything is to style. Basically, just going to through a little of everything in to get rid of leftovers from previous brews before they get stale. Target 5.5g In Fermenter OG...

What kind of tasting? What time? Might be worth going.

Plan on starting 20 gallons before the end of the year just need to free up some carboys

Ouch! Just checked their website. Looks like $75 picked up, $99.99 shipped!

I know that New York Craft Malt in Batavia is selling to home brewers now but don't know what they are charging or if they are even selling full sacks.

Niagara tradition is definitely open, my dad was there today. Amherst and orchard park will be a little out of the way for me. Will probably just end it up going to Niagara tradition on Sunday before we head back to Wyoming County. Decent prices at Niagara or no?

Hey guys, any supply stores worth checking out near Lackawanna? Or on the way from Lackawanna to Galleria mall? Heading to the In-laws parents place for our yearly Christmas get together and need to buy some some last minute gifts as well as pick up some stuff for myself. I know that Niagara...

I lied! I just remembered that one of my older brewing pads was in my truck. Says I boiled all ingredients with 1/2 gallon of water and added hops at flameout. I never boil my mead must, must have been in a beer mood.

So its been quite awhile since I tasted this. It ended up finishing around .996 and I never back sweetened. Ended up bottling in wine bottles. Just uncorked a bottle for a homebrew club meeting and it's honestly one of the best meads I've ever made. Will definitely be one of my first meads in...

Just about that time to do my 3rd racking. A bit of lees still left so will probably add some more cider. First racking topped up with only cider. Second racking topped up with a caramelized honey cider mix and this third rack will be straight cider again. Filling to the top as I probably won't...

I was actually just telling someone that was looking into souring a mead to check out your project. That's awesome, hope to see some more people. I'm 2 months in with my bochet cyser and it tastes awesome. Thinking of cutting my times down to 4 months instead of six but not sure yet.

After my 1 month quick mead trial using CDB and Safbrew Abbaye comparing dry yeasts with 1388, racked all 3 one gallon batches into one carboy over strawberries. +3 strawberry Mel =888

With 2 cups sugar, how are you keeping that gravity so low? Most apple juice starts around 1.04
