Here is one I'm going to print and hang on my soon to be teenager's door.

I allways keep at least 3 packets of D-47 and Ec-1118 and one Pasteur Champagne on hand in my wine closet. But thats just me.

If i were to use the kind of bleach that smells like lemon and then not rinse it off would it give my brew a lemon taste, or smell? :D OK now I know your read this and said to yourself "what a dumb a@$". I'm sure this is not the first time anybody has said that to there self on the forums(I...

1 packet of D-47 and a little nuterent in 1.2 gallon took of okay with an OG of 1.121. Took about 12 hours but it is going fine now. Going to use this in my honey nut mead.

Whats the highest Og that anyone has ever had D-47 start at without any problems. Play on putting 4.2 pounds of honey to a gallon...will I have to make a starter or will the D-47 work if I just hydrate and pitch? (never used D-47 in mead before). Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can awnser...

We all have heard both sides of the boil or no boil debate.(I only boil when I'm back sweeting). But I was wonder if maby there is a time when boiled honey can make somthing good. Yes I know I will probly catch some flack over this, but has anyone ever heard of someone distilling mead. I cant...

OK I had one of those brain farts this morning. I was eating some Honey Nut Cheerios when I wondered if I could make a mead like this. I looked around and couldn't find a rec. for a mead quite like I am after so I figured I would just make one up.(hell its only one gallon going down the sink if...

Ok the persimmons are all ripe and I see no one has given me an answer. so I'll ask this question I'm looking for something that will finish out sweet. I use ec-1118 in my meads, I have never made a melomel so I'm lost. I'll be using three pounds of persimmons "meat" made into pulp and plan on...

It wont be long and the persimmons will be ready to pick in my neck of woods. Last year we made jelly out of the tasty little bastards and it turned out great. Has anyone ever made a persimmon mead. If so did it turn out ok? Does anybody have any recipes for said mead? The only recipes...

Bad idea maby?

I have access to 5 gallon watter jugs that are used in watter coolers. Has anyone ever used these as carboys? These are made of blue not clear plastic. Does the plastic leave a taste behind in the mead? I know glass is best but hey these babies are free.

Okay honey update. After this gar of honey sat for a day it had about one inch of foam that looked like head on a beer but thicker. I scraped as much of it off as I could and after one day there is no more foam growing....I'm thinking I will cut my loses on this honey and toss it out(or maby...

I wish I could take it back but we were on a little road trip and this stand is an hour and a half from the house, so I will have to just keep it.

Good idea, I beleave I will just make up a gallon of must using this honey and water and a little nutrient and see what I get. (I'm sure that it is allready fermenting becouse after only a few hours it has presher on the lid of the mason jar).

I has a slight bitter and yeasty taste to it. The honey had been sitting in th sun all day when I boutght it so I figgured that was why it was thin. But after sitting in the AC at the house all night it was still thin.... Recking it is fermenting a tad and if it is should I bring it up to 180f...

I brought home some honey that we picked up from a road side stand yesterday. I thought the honey was a little thin looking to me, when I oppened up the lid(mason jar) the honey hissed at me like I had oppened up a beer. The honey has a slight bitter taste to it and after on hour on the counter...
