Just opened a bottle from 2013. Takes away any fear I had of overdoing the clove or cinnamon. Those flavors have faded leaving mostly the orange flavor. So I know I can always let the spice fade if I overdo it. It is still a fine drink and I am enjoying it but it is a different drink than it...

Depend how kinky you are

Keep the % low if you are added malted wheat. Not sure how malted barley will do. But I added some malted wheat to my whole wheat recipe. I used 10% ground with the wheat berries for flour. The first time the center was very doughy. So next time I baked for an extra 30 minutes on top of the...

sounds very good. If you want more spice you can still add more cimmamon and clove.

Said nobody ever.

Doesn't look like mold to me. Looks like a scoby growing

Since dry hopping is largely for aroma (no IBU contribution as the beer is too cold to isomerize the alpha acids) I would go with just the cascade as they smell better to me. But if you like a bit of the dank, someone was smoking weed in here an hour ago, aroma then feel free to add the...

The above are the yeast. The other bugs are still to be analyzed. I started the starter from a sour dough starter packet I purchased at a food co-op 17 years ago. The packet was a powder that was added to water and flour. I assume it has evolved over the years and yeasts that do well in my...

Sent my sour dough off to the Sourdough Starter Project at Ron Dunn Labs and the results are Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain 1) 72.57% Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain 2) 27.03% Kazachstania humilis (strain 6) 0.23% Kazachstania unispora (strain 1) 0.18% So now I know at least some of the...

Going to regret that one the next day

Do you know if the Schultz museum and Snoopy's home Ice made it? My daughter skated there this summer and has been asking.

Tried this and it is good. But, in my batch, the flavor faded fairly quickly. At 2 months it was a find drink, but my six months the flavor was very muted.

sure sounds like it should be mixed. And with 3.5 lb of honey you should have about 118 points of gravity. So if you figure not quite a full gallon due to head space and the fruit and spice take up some room if you only had .8 gallon of liquid total that would and OG of 1.148. So your 1.150...

No you can't blend. There is nothing to be done and the only option it to package and ship directly to me for proper disposal. But if that is not going to happen, I would recommend you test to get a mixture you like. Pull a sample of your stout, say 10 oz and measure. Then add your porter...

Read up on back sweetening mead. You could use the same processes. The idea is stun the yeast by adding campden tabs and potassium sorbate. Another option is to heat, but if you don't bottle I suspect you are still risking re-fermentation and contamination. For a cider to which I added...

I always preferred a 54 cal black powder rifle. If they were near the opposite shore you could pop them clear out of the water and up on the shore. But I do agree with the fertilizer comment. At least out of the muddy crick that ran through our farm.

I find gravity readings on mead to be suspect. Does not seem to mix well even when it looks mixed. Although I usually get low reads not high. 1.150 OG would indicate about 4.4 lb of honey per gallon, perhaps a bit less as the orange will add a bit of sugar. Anyhow, since you used D47...

gives nut brown ale a whole new meaning

start appearing? You know you are a home brewer when you clean out walmart on rubbermaid tubs

There are a lot of very smart people that brew.
