Yes please. I have depleted all my specialties.

I just did a small 1gal test batch with Munich and did a sour mash. Hope that adds a bit more of a complex character.

Yea that was me. Was there covering the event for Treating Yourself mag.

My LHBS up here has stopped doing bulk orders so I might just have to get in with one of you guys sometime.

Thanks Yooper. That was what I was just thinking. My last extract kist I took temps and a rest to work up to this and work out my system. I started my steep at 158 and cut the heat off in 30min it had fell to 155 so I think I should be able to do this. One was or the other. So mini-mash it is...

I guess there is some debate on using the Munich as a steeping grain rather than mash. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/steeping-munich-malt-126798/ The suggestion my my LHBS was it would add the bready, roasty and a bit of mouth feel.

Sorry about the confusion on the low malt. I am doing a 4.5gal ferment as my other fermenters are in use so I am down to a 5gal with airlock and no blow off. This is what Beersmith gives me on it. The honey takes it from a 3.5% to a 5%abv This is also 2 fold, as it's for my wife and I have...

I have read in a couple places that bulk aging is best. Though I cannot attest to this I do have 4 gallons bulk aging now.

Jack Keller's web site has this recipe posted for 1 gallon I have scaled up and used. At about 12lbs per gallon of honey beersmith says 1 gallon of honey in a 5 gallon batch will get you an OG of 1.081 est FG at 0.982 with an ABV 13% Varietal Mead, Sweet 3 - 3-3/4 lbs quality varietal honey...

I work in the restaurant business and use these oil jugs for most of the ciders and meads I have done. Things I don't have to worry about head space as much. I have a couple in the basement bulk aging now.

Hey Will... Brewtentils Black Friday sale is in-store only.

That's kinda why I made this post. I was wanting some pointers, experiences or ideas. This being the first time I have flavored something I wanted to ask the more experienced folks.

What did George Washington Drink? In the spirit of authenticity, a home-brewer attempts to recreate a founding father's beer recipe. It was last Thanksgiving. I had my heirloom turkey, local yams and organic cranberries. I had donned my waxed-canvas apron and consulted vintage recipe books. I...
