My first batch of Mead, finally bottled!!

Would Oak chips and Vanilla beans compete or compliment each other?

The link above was actually for beer but I followed the instructions anyway for 1/2 oz for 5 gal. ..... but it also says to only leave the chips in for 1 week. Do I need to rack off from the chips after only 1 week? Or can it set longer?

Wow, I just told my wife who suggested the ginger mead recipe we are in the process of gathering ingredients for.:D I really need to pay attention to who is writing replies. :p

Beer is all well and good ... but I like wine!:cross: SWMBO is a bit territorial about her beer also ... :o I guess I will try a JAOM.

I would go the cheap wine route, but I am the first in my circle of acquaintances to try making their own wine and they are getting very eager to see what the end product tastes like. I kinda stoked the curiosity by brewing a batch of gluten-free homebrew and they *really* liked that ... even...

I have 4 carboys currently "in progress" and do not wish to rush *them* ... so I am looking for something to drink in the interim. I had read alot of good reviews about the various JAOM recipes as well as the cysers, so I figured they would be a good choice to help give the rest time to age ....

My friends are beginning to eye my fermenting/aging stock with curiosity and maybe a tad impatience .... they want to sample something and I know what I have will not be ready for quite some time. So, I may have to one of the quicker recipes to give them (and my wife and I) something to enjoy...

My wife also like Green's .... but, as you have pointed out, the price is way too high for it to ever be anything more than an occasional "treat".

If you are using a Better Bottle carboy, I saw a video online about the best way to swirl one .... You place a ball in the recess under the carboy and then simply "roll" the carboy in a rotating fashion on the ball. It was all pretty slick ....... "Swirling the contents of a Better-Bottle...

Thanks!! This certainly gives me a direction to turn when getting yeast for my wines !!!!

My wife is celiac and it never occurred to me until I saw it mentioned in these forums that yeast may not be gluten-free. Does any one know of any yeasts for wine making that are gluten-free? I know that Wyeast has a couple for beers but they did not have any mention of any for wines.

I am gonna try leaving my next batch in the secondary alot longer ..... I am hoping to learn more about using clarifying agents as well - like I keep hearing about adding some sort of gelatin to help clear it up.

I get most of my supplies at Beers of the World ... what other brew supply stores are there in the Rochester area?
