Hi All, I'm an experienced homebrewer. I have cousin that harvests honey in western Pennsylvania. I've never made a mead before but would like to try since I have quite a bit of honey. Looking for any tips, suggestions for recipe, process etc. Will probably just start out with a basic 1...

Awesome! Thanks!

The mill is already set up for drill use and is mounted on a bucket. To obliterate the grains do you have to run them through multiple times? Or is there something specific to do to get a fine grind?

I do small batch BIAB (2 1/2 gallons). I've been getting grains from my LHBS and having them double crush the grains. I was recently given a corona style grain mill. What kind of crush can I expect from this type of grain mill compared to what I get from a double crush from my LHBS (whatever...

Thanks!

Does the grain bill matter? Is there any type of grains you shouldn't use? Making a hazy with this grain bill and want to make some dog treats for a friend. Any issues with flaked grains or chit malt? 6 lbs pilsner malt 3/4 lb flaked oats 3/4 lb flaked wheat 3/4 lb Chit malt

I ended up using food grade silicone lubricant. It has stayed on.

Agreed. I have interviewed at 4 breweries and the one I'm at is one of the only ones that places an emphasis on learning/knowing details of what we're serving. They paid for my Cicerone beer server certification and they ask that all servers get that - although I think I'm one of the few that...

IMHO the only issue here is that there are breweries/establishments that have 80% of their taps hazies. It can be hard to find a good IPA that is not a hazy but as been's said - that's the market. Would this discussion be different if these hazies didn't have IPA attached to them? Troon calls...

Thanks! Was thinking if the fermzilla for a secondary was too big I'd secondary in a 2.5g Keg and then could transfer to another Keg - using a floating dip tub.

I recently got a good deal on a couple of used Fermzilla fermenters - I believe they are all rounders and somewhere around 7 gallons. However I brew small batches of 2.5 gallons. Will it be too much headspace if I ferment 2.5 - 3 gallons in the Fermzilla? I've been working on hazy IPAs and...

I just got the Vevor 5L/170oz. I plan to fill it with homebrew for a family gathering next week in NC. It's an 8 hour drive. After filling it should I put the tap on it for the trip or should I put the regular cap on it and put the tap on when we're ready to drink it?

Thanks. That's a good beertender. I part time beertend at a brewery and will do similar - give a heads up and taste if there's something different about the beer.

I do BIAB and usually don't sparge - however I'm trying to improve my efficiency and did batch sparge on these - water temp was 160F. Did the same on the Pale ale and that one is fine. These beers are young. Pilsner was brewed on 6/30 kegged on 7/12 and the Cold IPA was brewed on 7/14...

It's not spicy - somewhat astringent maybe? Although no one else has described it that way. I don't know how else to describe it other than a bad tasting bitterness on the sides of my tongue. I like a good Czech lager so I don't think it's that I don't like Saaz - unless I just overdid it...

For me it's not that the bitterness is necessarily too high but to me not a good tasting bitterness. I do small batch so these are 2 1/2 gallon batches Pilsner Hop Schedule Boil: 0.30 oz Saaz 60 min 0.30 oz Saaz 30 min 0.30 oz Saaz 15 min 1 oz Strata Whirlpool @170F 15mins Cold IPA Hop...

I recently brewed a hopped pilsner and a cold IPA. Both beers have a bitterness that I don't care for and to me are off-putting. I do however have a Pale ale cascade/El dorado that turned out pretty good so at least I have some good beer. Hopped pilsner - 96.5% German pilsner, 3.5%...

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

My son inherited a small wine making kit - 1 gallon I think. He wants to make an apple wine. We are trying to decide if we should use apple juice or do something with fresh apples? What type of differences would there be in the finished product? I understand using apples will be more...
