    Hello Fellow Washingtonians!!

    the chances of hops from YVH and NB coming from the exact same lot are really low, so yes they will be different (it's an agricultural product, so there is natural variability). as you point out, not everybody is going to be able to tell the difference... i only buy my hops from YVH or...

    Warm Fermented Lager Thread

    *sigh*... "lager" beer may or may not require the following: lager yeast cool primary fermentation cold storage/aging/clarification traditional lager recipe (only or almost only pils, noble hops, low-mineral water, etc.) depending on how much of a purist/history nut/anal retentive you are...

    Jamil sells Heretic

    imma gonna disagree with you about jamil brewing beer that is out of date, unwanted, etc. his production has been growing year over year - that doesn't happen if you brew stuff that no one wants. for us homebrewers we think Heretic = Jamil. for the 99+% of the country that doesn't homebrew...

    Jamil sells Heretic

    no additional details. does indeed appear to be an unhappy separation. mostly it appears to be sudden and unexpected. i take it he didn't get 2 weeks notice :D

    that is a downside of pressing and only using the juice, vs. soaking the whole fruit: you're essentially throwing away a lot of the berry flavor by only using the juice. and on the whole, blueberries aren't the strongest flavored berry to start with... but definitely give it some time, some...

    1. fermenting too hot and lack of nutrients can both lead to hot alcohol flavor. aging helps. before the adoption of nutrients and temp control by homebrewers, it was common to ferment a mead then wait a year or more for it to "age out", i.e. lose all the off-flavors caused by those poor...

    depends on the recipe and your personal preferences :D a mead will ferment down below 1.000 if the yeast is healthy and hasn't reached its alcohol tolerance (which may be higher or lower than what is the yeast manufacturer states). if you want something other than a bone-dry mead, you'll want...

    how much sugar you have left in your brew. we measure sugar as gravity, so think of it as how many points you have left. for example, if your OG 1.090, your one-third sugar break would be at 1.030.

    ^ yup - Fermaid O + Go-Ferm = success. if you're going to get into mead making, you're going to need those two for every batch - might be worth investing in the above-linked bulk amounts.
