New Brew-day video up. Smoked Wheat beer in the snowstorm we had a couple weeks back. I had made my starter the day before without checking the weather and Voilla. 2+ feet of snow in 36 hours. Fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw_HCCCLdrQ Recipe Page Patreon Update! I'm...

I've had the opposite effect on my re-pitched sour blends. ECY20 (obviously not Roselare), which i've used 2nd generation in 2 cases now has produced much less sour beer & mead. However I like the complexity more the 2nd time around in that particular blend. I say re-pitch and if you don't...

The term "homebrewer" paints with an exceptionally large brush, so making any generalizations is not advisable, and typically very inaccurate.

Just speaking from my US experience, but in Massachusetts a similar rule applies in that gas stations and grocery stores do not sell alcohol. The only exception is Trader Joe's.

I use .25lb of special B for mine and I love it. It's a little bit of roast and plummy mild sweetness but only enough for a small contribution. I think 1.25 lbs as listed (of regular crystal) is too much as well. Half a pound at most I would say for 5 gallons.

Can't tell 100% because it's out of focus, but I'd give it an 80% Yes 20% NO

I like partial bottles cause I get to drink it right away.

I added a couple more areas for open response. I have gotten a few responses that have answers in short answer and paragraph answer fields. I would try a different browser if you can. If that doesn't work, I'd be happy to input your response manually if you PM'd me :mug:

Hey Everyone, in case you haven't heard, I recently announced a book I'm writing about Wild Meads (sour / lambic style etc). Here's a link to the announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/mead/comments/5guxtn/book_announcement_wild_mead_making_sour_and_funky/ I created a brief 8 question...

Bumping, who's still alive?

My wife probably wouldn't like to hear that I got sucked into the Dam overflow thingy going after a stocked rainbow.

I didn't technically land it. It got off the hook at the shore, bounced off a log and swam away.

My season ended with having caught 2.5 trout. I think I'm ready for the major league.

I’ve heard all kinds of misfortunes from new brewers ranging from boiling their grains to adding the priming sugar packet into the fermentation with the yeast pitch (and then it came out un-carbed of course). I think there’s just a lot of information overload for new brewers and it gets...

Just about to bottle an Apple Butter Cyser, very delicious. Thanks for the article Stan!

Could be a pectin haze. It may clear on its own, but super kleer wont help clear pectin. Add pectic enzyme to treat pectin haze. Wont hurt to add, but it it may just clear after a period of time. I made a sour mead with jelly (heated and extra lectin added) and its clear as day. Didnt add any...
