Starting up a hard cider tonight. Using skins of apples. You guys should try it, pretty cool. I have always had good luck.

Your beer is at 4.26% That's a good Pumpkin Ale. I just bottled a pumpkin last night it came in at 6.3% That's about as high as I like to go for a pumpkin ale

Let me know how it taste. How long has it aged in bottles?

Got a hard cider going with yeast from apple skins.

Thanks for the info. I used lalvin 71b-1122 so i should be good.

How much honey taste.

Has anyone done welchs grape juice with wine yeast. If so how did it come out

Just started up a natural yeast cider from the apple skins and its going crazy. Also trying a wine with welchs grape juice, started bubbling 10hr later. Check out my YouTube channel hymiesbrew.

I checked out there site and it looks like they just do beer tastings.

Should be fine let it set for two weeks then crack one open.

Not worth it. Put a little water in to rinse it out into the wort.

Through in some yeast nutrient or energizer you shouldn't have to pitch more yeast.

You should be good in the 10gal pot with the additive to cut down foam. You a thermometer so you know when it's going to boil. 212f

Add it in on flame out. Be carefully on the amout. Really strong taste so it's easy to over do it.

Forgot to put in my YouTube channel. hymiesbrew

Hello Everyone, I'm an extract brewer located in Portland Maine. Check out my YouTube channel. I have a lot more videos with me in it coming in the next week or two. Started a hard cider, Melomel, and pumpkin ale. Also a small gallon batch of a UK Northern Brewer Amber Ale that came out great...

Use either of the two. It won't effect the mead unless you leave it out in direct sunlight for a day. Then you might get some off flavors. Beers you want the barker bottles because of the hops.

Hello All, Brewing like crazy here in Portland. Any other home brewers out there in the Portland area? Shot of a pumpkin ale I started.

Nothing wrong with adding the vanilla but your going to have a super honey sweet mead. 3.5 lb of honey per gallon is so sweet. I know this because I have made the Joam your speaking of.

That sounds like a cool alternative. That would brew straight up old fashion hard cider. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
