Thats awesome software! I use spreadsheets for most of my stuff. It works but it feels a little outdated with all the technology we have nowadays. I am however using tilt to monitor gravity and temperature.

Your recipe looks good, Personally I would do this in a 1.5 gallon fermenter so you can get your full gallon out of it. I wouldnt scale back the honey too much, 1 pound is pretty light as is.

I agree 100% Glass marbles are a great way to reduce the headspace in your carboy, I have about 10 lbs of these marbles and use them all the time! Just make sure to sanitize them. I decided to sink the bag of fruit for the first time not too long ago and I can assure you that it is the way to...

Tiny Tree Meadery, Learn, Brew, Enjoy.

Keeping the ABV Low will keep the alcohol fuel taste to a minimum. 8-10% Is a good range between alcohol flavour and sweetness. Aging for a long time will also lessen the strong alcohol flavor but it sounds like you dont have that much time.

Ive heard that adding yeast nutrient after about 12% ABV could add some off flavors and wont really do much for you. Just my .02

Redstar Premier blanc, Premier classique, cote des blancs

Melomel would be a good safe route to go, Not only does it taste good, but the fruit often times gives a cool color and gives it a little more "Something special" than the original strait mead.

I'll have to give this a shot, I bet its got a beautiful color to it, Take pictures!

Early Fermentation yes, Im not disagreeing with you but If I use the same tools for all my brews, It will be acturate to me, I will measure digitally and then manually for the first batch and use the readings to calculate average inaccuracy. Its a cool way to take both of my hobbies and...

Awesome! The mango skin gives it a nice mouth feel as well! I cant wait to start my 5 gallon batch!

100 Points to Pkrd!

Not only will it keep the quality up but its easier and allows for data point tracking. It will keep the quality up by not introducing air, or potential bacteria into the Mead, Every time you open it up there is a potential to get bacteria in the must and you release the gas that fills up the...

I started an electronic mead brewing setup, I hope you all like it or can adapt it to what you need. I think it will be amazing and keep the quality up on the mead because you won't have to draw a sample from the carboy in order to read the SG, Just use tilt! Hardware Raspberry Pi B3+ RpI 7"...

Ive been using Redstar Premier Blanc for the last several years, never really branching out. Im curious if I should use lavelin or another strain from Red Star, What are the advantages and disadvantages. What is your favorite yeast and Why? I brew Mead only.

Hello Everyone! I brewed a Peach Mango mead for the first time, I've brewed tonnes of other meads before but never Peach and Mango. I tried it for the first time and its about 10% ABV Right now and is absolutely delicious. I thought I would share my Recipe with you all. It makes 1 gallon...

Hmm, that would be the question, I can't find any conical fermenters that are 3-4 gallons with any good reviews, I found one but its pretty 50-50 And the glass ones are all 6-9 gallons and almost 200 bucks. Which I guess is fine but I'm not making that big of a batch.

Ive worked as a mechanic for too long, My filter is minimal at best and when someone says something like that, I almost have to follow up.

bahaha Get one, we'll compair sizes

Ive been looking into different fermenters to get the lees out of my Mead and I found Conical fermenters, Im looking at the 3-6 gallon range and The price isnt too bad, it mentions harvesting yeast strains as a big feature. What does this mean, Does this mean I should re use the yeast in the...
