Does anyone know the ratio of 1 Campden tablet to Powdered Potassium Metabisulfite? I'm asking since a recipe i'm doing calls for 1/2 of a campden tablet, yet I only have powdered potassium metabisulfite. Anybody know? Thanks!

After ~48hrs lots of bubbling on the airlock. About 1 every 2-5 sec.

I should have waited, but last night I did a starter with some yeast + sugar + yeast nutrient + yeast energizer and pitched it. It's now bubbling away :) Thanks for your help everyone! Looking forward to the results!

Hrm, im not noticing any bubbling of the airlock after 24hrs, but I don't see any honey settling at the bottom either. I aerated it a bit today about 6hrs ago and still nothing. Should I continue to wait or pitch some more yeast? Thanks!

Just tried my second batch, still has a week to carb up, except now i have 4 brewing now (stout, cider, skeeter pee, grape mead) ahhhhhh boy.

All of the above posts :P and Buy more fermenters!!!!

Hey all - I used the 5gal recipe and got a SG of 1.07, will this be ok? Essentially added the grape juice, to the carboy, added the honey, bit of water to get it up to 5gal, and shook the hell out of it then took a gravity reading. Not sure if the honey may have sank to the bottom or something...

Just bought enough for a 5 gal batch mmmmm

Thanks all!

Aye I really gotta get into all grain :) I dont feel I have the space for it in my tiny apt tho :(

Wow it's stuff like this that I love. I'm looking to do a yerba mate recipe. I have so many friends who drink it regularly and have been asking about it ever since I started brewing. For anyone who has tried it, how did it turn out, and recipes are always welcome! :)

Can anyone suggest an alternative for Pilsner LME? I am looking to brew the Belgian Trippel listed here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f73/belgian-trippel-2006-world-beer-cup-gold-medal-dragonmead-final-absolution-clone-137219/ and would like to get all my supplies in one stop. Unfortunately the...

Thanks Kahler!

I saw a thread back in 2007-2009 about places to go in NYC, but nothing new since then. So HBT, where should I go? I've never been to NYC so I'm looking to find some delicious brews and a good atmosphere! :mug:

I'm a huge fan of lambic's but I have a feeling I will be moving within 6months so I dont have the time for fermenting for a year+. Are there any kits/recipes out there that has a decent turn around time ( <6 mo ) for a lambic/wild beer? Thanks!

Try the following: - Sunset Grill and Tap (restaurant + lots of beers) - Cambridge Brewery Company (make their own brews and good food) - John Harvards Brewery (make their own brews and good food) - British Beer Company (restaurant + lots of beers) There is also a belgian beer fest sept 9-10th...

An australian light ale from midwest brewer. I think I may add some mixed berries to it in the secondary as well to give it some more fruity flavor. I also have an irish stout kit that just needs yeast, which I ordered also. Both items should be here monday.... Lets just hope I can gather...

Couldn't wait any longer and had to crack one of these nutbrown ales open after 5 days, heard a slight hiss and it was good... still needs some conditioning and time to get carbonated tho!!! In case you saw my other threads, I couldnt get the FG down to where it needed to be (~1.016 and min...

Curious to how this turned out, and if anyone has an extract or partial mash version of this. I had a fluffy white rabbits a while back and would love to have something similar
