Has anyone tried strawberries in the secondary rack? I love strawberry rhubarb preserves, and was trying to figure out if it would be possible to replicate this in wine form.

Working on a new Mead and a label for it...

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. Both the Strawberry melomel and Apple Cyzers are doing great. Got labels ready to go for bottling!

Quick picture of the melomel. Had to sample a bit of it yesterday when I moved it off of the blow off tube to an airlock. It was sweet with a satisfying twang from the strawberries. Could taste the alcohol for sure.

thanks! I'll add a picture of the melomel when I get home so there's some visual points of reference as well.

Mead newb here. I started a 1 gallon strawberry melomel last Saturday and was curious about some things. 3lbs fresh (washed and sanitized) strawberries 3lbs honey D47 yeast Fermaid-K nutriant Tanin (This was all added in primary) Now, nearly every beer that I've brewed (with the...

Cyser in secondary. Seeing some sediment dropping out, and no activity in the airlock. Now...the waiting game for it to clear.

A bit late to the game, but if you're still feeling creative... Nevermore Brewing Co. Use of a Raven for sure, genre not important but some kind of "Edgar Allen Poe" feel to it would be super!.

269 + 1 Strawberry melomel + 2 Apple cyser = 272!!! More to come from me as the year progresses as well.

Awesome. If it's just a matter of re-racking a few times, then that's good news. I was concerned that since I started with a really cloudy cider that it would impact the final clarity of the cyser.

So, I started two one liter batches of cyser a bit ago. Firmentation went very nicely - it dropped out a ton of debris through the process. I racked to secondary when the gravity reading I took was at .999 (which was a recommendation from a friend who brews mead), and it's now sitting in my...

I'll second this. I ordered two cases worth of labels for my Chocolate Milk Stout. The labels were brilliant! Well made, adhered well, professional looking and arrived on time. The customer support and response was beyond what I was hoping for and the pricing is really outstanding. If you...

Named after a friend's World of Warcraft character and our mutual love of Lovecraft and dark beer.

I'm thinking at this point the ABV is going to be around 5.12% with an OG of 1.059 and an FG (estimated) around 1.020. This is just a guess though.

I'm going to be brewing a pumpkin stout - ideally for consumption in late September early October. I've read that stouts can actually improve a great deal given the opportunity to condition for awhile after bottling. I want to get the timing of the brew and it's consumption to work out...

The lobster actually lasts quite long...like two or three weeks. We're with our third lobster baby now. The shark, made by the same company is also good...but stay away from the octopus. Bailey that that thing destroyed in hours.

This is Bailey and "Lobster Baby"

I'd read soaking the nibs in vodka for 3-7 days, straining the nibs out and adding the liquid to your priming solution also works nicely. I haven't tried this, and am coming up on the time when I decide to add the nibs to my Milk Stout directly or try this other method. Thoughts?
