It's been 3 months in the primary bucket for my first semi sweet mead. When do I transfer? :confused:

We tried Bacon flavored Torriani syrup and didn't like the flavor. Just went with Maple. Turned out real good on the first attempt. Introducing "Morning Wood Robust Porter".

I use a jet engine to heat my brew pot.

Of course all my friends loved it anyway and drank all of it this last weekend. So much for waiting 2 months. If I get it where I want it, I'll make 10 gallons.

20 feet of 1/2" copper coiled tubing and some hoses and fittings to hook to your sink (about $40 bucks at Home Depot) will cool down 5.5 gals in 30 min with frequent stirring.

With a paddle in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other, I brew in the kitchen and tell everyone to quit whining about the loud noise and low oxygen ("CRACK A WINDOW!!!"). The burner warms-up the house nicely and the fire department has only needed to be called twice.
