Hehe its a regular mead, around 11-12% ABV forgot the SG numbers their around somewhere....... I could do that but wont the air get in and ruin the aging process ? ? I dont mean to keep them for so long, but at least a year. Im not so sure i like mead that much, it has a very strong alcohol...

Hi all, been awhile since ive been on here!! I have a question on my 3month old mead ferment! Its been sitting in a plastic water jug now and been fermenting very slowly, ive gotten it down to 1.010 now I really want to get it out of the plastic jug since their not very good for anyone. I...

Ive been making a few different cans of coopers hopped malt extract, and ive noticed it smells identical to molasses!! If molasses is made from sugar cane/beet, it got me wondering... is coopers sellling molasses ? ? or malt extract ?! This might be stupid, but hey the mollasse scent is...

All that apple juice and it sounds like my yeast wont survive in all that acid! Since its been done before, I guess ill just go with that basic recipe 10# honey and 4gal juice, with no water... Ahh the problem is even though apple juice labels say they have no artificial ingredients, and the...

My mead used to taste like wood alcohol, or some type of cleaning product it was soo strong. My friend came over the other day, and I opened a bottle since I havnt tried it in a couple months, and when he downed a glass quickly with no facial expression of "Whoaaa thats strong", I tried some...

The braggot is very, malty, or tastes of really strong beer. I shouldve diluted it more....it is however still fermenting very slow, its kind of going abit quicker since its warmer out now!

I finally went back to the brewery, to buy some more hopped coopers malt extract, since this beer is the best to make. Ive noticed when you let it sit for a whole month or two the beer gets alot better and carbonated better. I need to buy me some more beer bottles so I could semi-age them! I...

51% of the fermentable sugars ?

Yes its a coopers kit for beer! Im pretty sure adding water will help, im just worried its oxidizing since there still sitting in bottle with a stuck fermentation. Say, when bottling a beer, whats the max gravity that you could have after priming ?

Ok guys, this wasnt a good idea to rack, the ferment is pretty stuck now and might have given up. Also the taste is very malty/hoppy, it might be because I used too much malt extract/water ratio. Is it safe to dilute it with 20% water ? Or perhaps even 20% of my basic mead which is still...

Hmm so you cant do an AG with the methods shown in the tutorial ? Just using more grain instead of extract ? Im not to excited about the idea of hot liquids being poured into plastic containers, even if they are food grade. So mayb forget about my AG, and ill stick to a partial mash. As for...

I found it in the flyers in my local area. A place called "blue sky" supermarkets, its an asian store. Right now they probobly dont have it on sale, it was just for a week! You just have to keep your eyes out on things.

Ive actually read that, and thats what makes me want to do a AG! All im doing is not using any extract, correct ?

I cant find that technique. Its not reccomended that I do several boils to achieve 5gal ?

I wanted to do an AG, but I don't have a big enough pot. I have a 2gal, and a 4gal. First question is what to use as a screen ? I have several plastic colanders. My main concerns is finding a recipe, and tweaking its tastes to a beer of my likings. Ive been to the recipe area of the...

I am going to bottle, my small batch I made will not do good in a secondary because of ulllage, or airspace. Gravity is at 1.010 and I just racked off and right now their sitting in bottles with the caps on, but not sealed. I tasted a small sample, and it seems very strong and bitter. Might be...

Im partially ready to do an all-grain or partial mash. I found a local brew beer store that carries grains, and hops. My main concerns is finding a recipe, and tweaking its tastes to a beer of my likings. Ive been to the recipe area of the forums, but I just cant stick to one. Id like my beer...

But it wont be able to eat up some of the sugars in the malt correct ?

Thats a tough one! You might want to just keep it in an airlocked carboy and monitor that the SG isnt dropping anymore.

Well in this case I used lalvin ec 1118 which usually ferments everything completly dry, so quick. Will this happen with my braggot ?
