    How fast do potassium sorbate and camden tablets work?

    Pretty much the topic. I have a mead that I am about to rack to secondary. In secondary, I am going to add blueberries, vanilla beans, and more honey. I don't want the yeast to ferment any of the sugar I am adding. So my question is should I add the p. sorbate and camden tablets into the...

    Vanilla Blueberry Mead?

    Ok just a little update. I got this going last Wed. I ended up doing a 5 gallon batch with 16.5lbs of honey. OG was 1.122. It smelled fantastic. So now I have to think about my schedule for racking and such. I think I'll go with this schedule: Primary- 1 month or until fermentation...

    Vanilla Blueberry Mead?

    I thought the pectin enzyme was to prevent pectin haze? So since I am not adding blueberries to the primary, do I not need to add the pectin enzyme? I also had another question. I was looking at some random recipes and saw that a lot of them called for a acid blend. Something about how...

    Vanilla Blueberry Mead?

    Ok so I have a question. I was doing some reading and a couple of places said that Potassium sorbate will lend a slight off flavor. Is this true? How noticeable is it? Would I be better off using a lower abv tolerance and just upping the amount of honey initially used and just hope that it...

    Festbier BierMuncher's OktoberFAST Ale (AG)

    Do you get any of the fruity esters from the S-04 in this recipe. I think i'm going to brew a variant of this recipe this weekend, but i'm worried the esters would show to much and distract from the maltiness. Maybe ferment cooler (60-62ish)? Or maybe mash a little higher and use notty?

    Ever been in a brewing slump?

    I know what you mean about being in a slump. But mine is sort of different. Lately I have been so busy that I just don't have that much time to brew. And when I do have the time I would rather spend it doing something else, like going golfing. I think part of the reason is that I have had a...

    Why bringing beer to your LHBS guy before noon is not a good idea...

    Did you take it to Cap n Cork? I have thought about taking a couple bottles in there before to get some feedback, but I wasn't sure if this was frowned upon or not....

    Easy coleslaw

    Man some of these recipes look really good. Coleslaw is one thing that I struggle with. I am looking forward to trying some of these recipes, esp. on some pulled pork sandwiches.

    Got a new (to me) Smoker!

    Congrats on the new smoker. I just started smoking food this winter (built myself a Ugly Drum Smoker, figured it was the best bang for the buck) and have absolutely loved cooking on it ever since. Hopefully you enjoy your smoker. And good luck with your brisket. It is by far my favorite when...

    Dark spots in the bottom of my bottles?

    Ok. So I was planning on bottling a blonde ale this weekend but hit a snag. Yesterday I start washing bottles out like I always do, overnight soak in oxiclean. This morning I go to start rinsing out bottles and did something I don't normally do, I looked in the bottom of the bottle. This is...

    Belgian Blond Ale SWMBO Slayer - Belgian Blonde

    Are you going to brew it again with MO, or will you try it with US 2-row instead? This may be my next brew, and I will use MO since I have 100# of it.
