Hey guys, Don't want to get all commercial on everyone here so I'll keep it short and simple. I have been on the forums for a while and am a Lifetime member of HBT. So I am particularly proud to announce on here that I have decided to go pro! Opening New Jersey's first meadery which has made...

I'll take it! Email me at [email protected]

Thank you for that reference. Will give that a try. For exact ABV though, how well do "Vinometers" work ? Anyone have experience with this item ? http://www.midwestsupplies.com/vinometer.html

Wondering what common practices other use for determining total ABV on melomels that have fruit go right into primary. As we can easily take a SG gravity reading of just the honey and water, or even with the fruits initially added, the measured SG would not reflect the actual sugar content...

Just fond out that I have two entries going to NHC Final Round in Philly. 1st place metheglin, and second place dark lager. Was wondering if anyone had or knew of any available tickets for the NHC 2013 awards banquet ? Maybe from someone who purchased by is longer able to attend...

Yes, already have tickets for the actual conference. Just wasn't planning on attending the banquet as I wasn't expecting to get anything into the final round. But now that I have two horses in the race, that changes things a bit ! Thanks for the suggestion of posting in classifieds.

I added 3 dried chipotle peppers into the one gallon experimental batch, left for two weeks before removing. 10 into the remaining 3-gallons.

Yes, carboy was flooded with CO2 after pulling my two one-gallon samples. What kind of additions have you made to your meads that awarded the same results? And what kind of timeframe would you say it took to completely clear?

Decided to convert the remaining 3 gallons of my sweet mead (still not clear after 6 months), into my new favorite sipper, chipotle mead. Here is an example of the clarification effects chipotles have on mead. This same result happened in only 8 hours with my initial 1-gallon experimental...

Even after rinsing out the barrel a few times ?

Acquired a freshly dumped 8-gallon whiskey barrel straight from distillery. Planning on brewing a 10-gallon batch of RyePA to throw in there, keeping the extra two gallons to top up (if extended oaking is the route) or to just bottle for comparison with non-oaked version. First time doing this...

I can see that being true with all the added water. Just for the record though, caramelized honey WILL HARDEN ROCK HARD once cooled. I poured my honey into a silicone loaf baking pan. It hardened into a nice solid brick which was easily removable from the silicone mold. Threw the "honey...

Would "burnt" honey harden once cooled ? Making a braggot with highly caramelized honey at a big brew day this Saturday with my HBC, and was wondering if I could just caramelize the honey (to almost black) the day before and just bring it with me. Wouldn't want to be stuck at my pot...

I thought I would share one of my new favorite recipes, dubbed Muddy PAW (Pale Ale Wheat). Not exactly your normal wheat beer or pale ale, but I have grown to love the mix of these two styles. 4 lbs Pale Malt 4 lbs Red Wheat Malt 8 oz Caramel Wheat Malt 4 oz Flaked Wheat .75 oz...

Jumped on the graff bandwagon... brewed up Brandon O's and the Gunsligner receipes today. Waiting to see if I stay on the bandwagon after they're ready for tasting :mug:

How do you think Honey Malt would work in addition to, or in place of the Crystal 60L in the original recipe ?
