    I bottled my Atomic Fireball Mead today.

    Is this a "hot" cinnamon flavor? Someone else suggested a cinnamon flavor extract. I picked up a bottle of that, but the taste is more of a weak, sweet flavor, like on cinnamon rolls.

    I bottled my Atomic Fireball Mead today.

    3.6lbs of honey 10 jawbreakers 6-12 packets of tea Wyeast 4184 Mead yeast...although a whole pack of yeast may be a bit much for one gallon. BTW- Wyeast 4184 is very slow to get started. I waited 9 days before there was any activity, and then it was tiny bubbles.

    I bottled my Atomic Fireball Mead today.

    Can you tell me how much cinnamon flavor extract would be equivalent to 1oz of oil? I want to try it again. I was hoping for a better idea than oil that just sinks to the bottom. Thanks.

    I bottled my Atomic Fireball Mead today.

    It would just dissolve pretty quickly.

    I bottled my Atomic Fireball Mead today.

    You don't need to keep it warm overnight. Just drop them in hot water. They will eventually dissolve. The recipe is fairly vague. I waited a day or so until they all dissolved. Yes. I used 30 bags of the Celestial Seasoning tea (1 1/2 boxes). The recipe says it's for color, but I still...

    I'll try to get a photo when I come home from work today. Headed out the door right now.

    I bottled my Atomic Fireball Mead today.

    When I poured the cinnamon oil in, I was very disappointed to see it acting like an oil in water. It made little globs and sunk to the bottom. I stirred it around a bit and I guess that did some good. The sample I drank did have more cinnamon taste than one I tried before adding the oil. I have...

    Medieval Burnt Mead!

    I tried mine a few days ago. Burned it to motor oil color. Champagne yeast. At 8 months, it tastes a lot like a Port wine. I like it. I'm definitely going to scale up the recipe.

    funny criagslist AC ad

    I like the one in Austin from a massage therapist wanting to trade a massage for a facial. Hmmm...sounds like a win/win to me.

    Looking for a blackberry recipe.

    Thanks, guys. I'll be using a soda keg, but I think it would be a really good idea to try a smaller batch first. The ginger sounds like a great suggestion.

    Looking for a blackberry recipe.

    Thread title pretty much says it all. I've never made soda so I don't really know how to formulate a recipe.

    Just started my 6 Months in Afghanistan

    So did I. I spent a year at Bagram Airfield. At first it was a 1.5liter bottle in a backpack hanging on the wall. Then I went to a 5gallon jug. I used apple juice from the chow hall and added honey, raisins, and dried cranberries from MREs, along with a little cinnamon. I made 5 batches. One...

    Ebay feedback pisses me off

    I had a ******* bookseller leave me negative feedback. This guy had a habit of leaving retaliatory negatives after earning his negatives. He of course offered to negotiate a mutual withdrawal. Screw that. Ohojim Turn on your speakers. It's just one page and I never updated it. When the site...

    Any plumbers???

    I'm a plumber. First of all- the people at Lowe's don't know what they're talking about. If they knew plumbing, they'd be out making $25 an hour instead of $10 at Lowe's. If I go to Lowe's or Home Depot to buy parts, I'll offer free advice to home owners because I've witnessed horrible advice...

    I Hate Csi

    Preach it! I can't stand the show either. For me it's the hokey science and forensics. I am a huge fan of Forensic Files.

    Does anyone here own a Honda Element?

    I ride in one occasionally. I hate it. Back seat passengers get bumped around like they're riding a go-cart. If the windows are down, the wind noise is deafening. Back seat passengers can't roll windows down, so if the a/c is not on, they'll feel like they're suffocating. The arm rests are too...

    anybody made 2 hole stoppers?

    Would a thin-wall brass tube work, if pushed through slowly, using a vise?
