Added the hops last sunday, 30gm cascade, and I'm going to let them in until next Thursday.

I would rack it but the jug don't have any lees at the bottom. I ordered some bentonite, if it clears i'll bottle it as soon as i can :)

The recipes: I poured about 1L of water to the jugs and added the honey, shake the hell out of them to dilute the honey, add the fruits (i froze them first and then thawed them) and the bee pollen. Then I hydrated the yeast in some 40Cº water (15 minutes). The next step was to top up the...

They are from a portuguese rosé wine faisão. Me and my father in law drank some bottles last summer after I started my meads. They are 750ml bottles

cool :) Im only concerned about the Clementine/Raspberry, it was made at the same time with the same honey and yeast and its not clearing at all, it was the same 5 months ago. I did put it in the fridge today to try a cold crash to see if it clears a little bit more.

Yup, its pretty dry but I could drink it right now. I will wait a little more until August (1 year mark) to open the first bottle and I hope to it will be awesome :D

I didnt mash the blueberries, I only frozen them and thaw them right before add them in the carboy. I probably didnt get many flavors of the berries but the taste test was very good :)

The blueberry was bottled today, the clementine/raspberry is still very cloudy and i don't know why. Blueberry Clementine/Raspberry

Bottled my first mead today, Blueberry melomel.

Heys I made some cider batches and i love it. Last sunday i started an hopped cider, everyone seems to be talking about it on youtube and it looks delicious :D I just bought 5L of 100% apple juice, added 550g of white sugar and pitched lalvin-D47. I already have cascade hops and when it stops...

The small ones where bought in a pet store and the bigger in a portuguese brewshop. You probably can find those on ebay or amazon

My blueberry and clementine/raspberry ( still cloudy 7months later dunno why) and also a recipe i found at youtube from StormTheCastle channel that i brewed January 1st 2013 :)

Thanks :) I used bakers yeast because I was saving my D-47 for the meads. The taste is ok but I think with some more months it will be even better :)

Hey everyone. I made a 4L batch of hard apple cider last August and bottled today. 4L 100% Apple juice; 2 cups white sugar; bakers yeast. In the beggining Last November was like this With my meads on the right Bottling day finaly :D This is the first thing I...

look's more than it is... yet :) After some advice i topped the carboys almost to the cork because of all the oxygen there was inside. :rockin:

today i racked both my meads and my cider to new carboys. took a gravity reading first and they where both at 1.000 so i decided to siphon them, unfortunately on the clementine & raspberry i siphoned some fruits that where mashed in the bottom of the carboy :(, i might do a third racking when...

I only added some raisins, im new to brewing so i didnt bought nutrients or energisers. Mabe in my next batches :)

Hey everyone, just an update on my 2 week old meads. My blueberry mead changed color in a couple a days and its starting to get clear but the clementine and raspberry isn't clear like the blueberry, probably because of the different fruits. The fermentation almost stopped, dunno if i'm...

I dont intend to put more fruit in, i was inspired by the stormthecastle recipe i found here and youtube, since he only uses 1 orange and some raisins i thought i would use only 3 clementines, the zest of 5 clementines, 250gr of rasperry, a hand of raisins and 1 tablespoon of bee pollen. The...

Hey everyone, yesterday after checking the forums for tips and recipes, etc I came up with this two melomel's. Clementine and Raspberry & Blueberry The yeast used was lalvin EC-1118 (and because of that it will be dry) because of the temperature's of my house, I had some d-47 but i...
