    Does anyone have a good clone of Mike's Harder Cranberry? I'm trying it for the first time, and i like it, I just think it could use a touch less sweetness

    Small kegs?

    Anyone know where to buy SMALL kegs (like 1 gallon or 1.5 gal)? I can't seem to find any for a decent price. They're all  way more expensive than 5 gallon kegs! 😞

    What's with all the IPA's?

    I'm just curious... it seems like the commercial breweries are mostly making IPA's of various forms. I, personally, am not a fan. To me, IPA's are a contest to see who can get the most bittering hops in a brew. I prefer something with a lot of flavor and mouth feel. But that's just my personal...

    Estimate SG of fruit

    Hey, folks... I'm a bit unsure how to calculate the SG of fruit. I know there are some conversions for that, but I've been unable to locate anything. I know the carb content of the fruit, but I'm not sure how to turn that into SG to add to my OG. Any help would be appreciated. X-posted from...

    Peach/Mago Melomel

    Has anyone made a peach/mango/apple melomel? I tried a peach/mango hard cider the other day at a beer festival. I thought I'd try it with actual fruit. I was looking at Wal-Mart and saw they have frozen mangoes and peach slices with nothing added, not even sugar.

I have some diluted honey (it was crystallized and I tried to heat it in a water bath, but apparently caused a small leak and the honey.mixed with water.) Anyway, since...

    Blueberry melomel?

    Anyone ever made a Blueberry melomel? My plan is to.make a 1 gallon "test" batch by mixing about 3# of honey. And fill the rest with Blueberry juice to just over 1 gallon (account for loss due to trub, etc). Thinking of adding frozen & thawed blueberries in "secondary" for a couple weeks for flavor.

    2 gallon fermenter

    Anyone think this would work? I know it doesn't have a screw-on lid and there's nowhere to put an airlock, but I thinking fermentation gas would push out of the lid. Anchor Hocking 2-Gallon Heritage Hill Jar Amazon.com: Anchor Hocking 2-Gallon Heritage Hill Jar : Everything Else

    Oxygenate or not?

    So there's someone in a homebrew forum on Facebook claiming that aeration does nothing for dry yeast. Can anyone link to authoritative posts otherwise?

    Bulk aging mead

    So I finally kegged my cyser last (Sunday) night. My questions are as follows: 1) about how long should I expect to bulk age it? 2) room temp or cold (i.e. freezer temps?)

    The "I'd nevervdrink that if it were ALL that was available" thread

    So, just curious l, what are some beers that are so bad you would rather drink water than drink that beer? I'll start with Schlitz. As a teenager we'd rather drink Mad Dog 20/20 than Schlitz. We used to call it a different name made by removing the L from the name, and fir good reason as that's...
