MoreBeer - Free shipping, so I can get 10 gallons worth of ingredients for 65$ FLAT BABY! and no LHBS. Equipment - I look around for the best deals. If you have a LHBS, I'd go there.

Nothing wrong with that.

Great! Beer! Man! what's up next?

I'd go cascade since it's the most dual purpose of the bunch.

True, but OP is talking about up to a year.

Short answer: Pale ales and IPAs, wheat beers, won't last. Stouts, Barleywines, sours, Belgian ales, should hold up as long as you are good with avoiding any oxidation.

2.5 months is still really early for a bochet. Also how dark did you cook it? Like the previous posts, you have to get that fermentation started again as well.

I just use the online priming sugar calcs. It helps me control the carbonation by style instead of a certain amount every time.

As long as you don't mind becoming a couple of hoarders with no limits, and all your visitors / neighbors think you're running a meth lab.

Go for it. Or you can bottle from gen one, and top up Gen 3 with new must.

1 - peppercorn saison mead. It was fine before the peppercorns, and after, nope nope nope. Tried to age it and it only sucked harder every time. The only time I've ever dumped.

Yeah I think it depends on how equipment heavy you are. I have the simplest BIAB setup for 5 gallons, ferment in buckets, and bottle (I do want to keg though). Before I get to into it, I'm in the black for sure I'd say.

I recently had my daughter and found time to brew once. I haven't lost interest, I still want to do it all the time, just don't have the time. As she's starting to get older, I've been able to brew. The first thing you gotta do is brew earlier in the day. If you have a baby, you're probably up...

I hope Mangrove Jack's dry yeast becomes more readily available, it's one of my favorite dry yeasts if I can get my hands on it. Liquid is good for belgian styles that need really specific yeast qualities only (and sours).

Immediately thought of this.

I'm with Jaybird, I sometimes go 2-3 months before a first racking, and no I haven't had autolysis.

Drink it or send it to me. Those are your choices.

Agreed, I think OP should keep a very close eye on carbonation. OP says it's undercarbed at the moment. I'd check a bottle once or twice a week until it's carbed to at least something acceptable, then cold crash them all.

Pellicle, the last image sells it.

1 Gallon of Goldenrod traditional hydromel 1+1 = 2 Also, I started a duplicate 2016 thread, I'll have mine removed.
