I guess I could kill the yeast, like in some wines and keg it with honey or juice. How do you prepare the honey???

Okay. So nothing too different. That's good times. I might top up with some apple juice to sweeten it up a bit. Perfect!

So I have three gallons of cider, which is done and nicely aged. I was planning on kegging it up, but I've never Kegged a cider before. Any suggestions on how I'd go about doing so? Thanks!

Man. I'm thirsty. Bloody hell. All this blood talk is ... intriguing. I must say.

Going to make a batch of this this weekend. Just going to change a few things, as i am upping the batch size to 6 gallon. And I have a nice slurry from a Ginger Ale I made with S-05. We'll see how it turns out. Fermentables: 6 lbs DME 1.25 lbs Crystal 10L 10 oz Corn sugar 5 oz Honey Malt...

I put together a batch of this last night. 6 gallons. Used dry pils extract. Same ginger and honey. Man, smells good. Took a little taste before I pitched the yeast, and it had a wonderful ginger flavor and bite. I am looking forward to kegging it up! As I sit here watching my airlock bubble...

It is what i use for my 6 gallon glass carboys. Works like a charm!

I am kind of interested in this... I may have to put on a gallon of this and see what happens. I have a mead going right now. Why not maple wine?! Heh. Thanks!

I've never done a tea before. I am just about to bottle my Xmas ale that I made, but i did it all in a boil. The last 10 mins i added all the spices and such. Smelled damned good! Nice and black... Looks good.

If I can paypal you the 5 bux for shipping, I am totally in! :D

Welcome fellow BC'er. I am just about to put on my first mead. Kind of excited! :D

I'd trust the guy from T.Dot. I haven't been there in years... i cannot wait to go back now! :D

Ok. Thanks all. I just didn't know if the yeast like that kind of alcohol environment. May have died or something. I bottled it... We'll see how it all goes.

I've got an Imperial Chocolate Pepper Stout on the go... And I was going to bottle it. I don't know if I should add more yeast or not. It has been in primary for 3 weeks... and secondary for about a week. It clocked in at OG 1.10. It has gone down to 1.028 as a FG. Should i add more s-05? or...

A bit late... But I just got off work and I'm gonna brew. Doing an extract IPA with speciality grains. Calypso, el Dorado and citra hops. We'll see how it goes! Wish me luck.

Excellent. I like the sound of that. I thought I should mash in those grains. I didn't know tho... I like that. Thank you! To mash every time isn't a bad thing at all.

Yup. Bag is all crushed. I didn't know if i had to mash the Pale and Vienna Malts. I thought those were usually grains that you mashed. I've got a muslin bag to do it all in...

Plugged it in... And didn't seem like nearly enough bittering hops. Maybe I put it in wrong.

I've used EC-1118 and this past summer, I have started using S-04 and I've got a batch on with S-05... I'll bottle it on Sunday. I made a beer with T-58.... A Belgian dry yeast. My Next 3 gallons will use that yeast. So far, S-04 is my fave. Good taste and such.
