So I've been wondering about this for a while but does anyone know what temperature the grains in both DME and LME are mashed before being dehydrated and packaged? More importantly I'm wondering the amount of disaccharides verse polysaccharides in both DME and LME in order to have an...

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is probably one of my all time top favorite books. Its good stuff, and this thread is full of proof that there aint no such thing as a free beer.

Thanks Dam. This is just a test batch and is only 1 gallon. I probably wont age this one too much and if I like where its headed after a couple months ill devote a carboy to a batch and let it age properly. Have you ever tried oaking a cyser? I was thinking that its going to be a real sweet...

TANSTAAFB....combining two of my favorite things; beer and Heinlein. Homebrew, the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived!

Ok, I just watched those videos and that would have been labeled as "PFM" if I were still in the Coast Gaurd. Thanks, by the way.

So I was studying for finals a couple weeks ago and decided a glass of apfelwein sounded good to take the edge off the ominous feeling of impending doom I was experiencing. I thought it was a bad idea to get TOO bombed so I thought I'd try mixing my apfelwein with a bit of ginger ale I had...

I thought about dropping the sugar and using just honey for this one but my intention was to make this thing one part apfelwein, one part ginger, ale, and one part mead for some extra ABV kick. I have another gallon of apple juice and more honey so I'm definitely going to make another test...

So a few months back I made my first batch of edWorts apfelwein and fell in love with it. One night a couple glasses deep I decided to try mixing a touch of ginger ale in with my apfelwein and really enjoyed the product. Wanting to make something similar without losing any of my ABV I set out to...
