A zombiebrau, you say? Sounds delicious. And not patented yet!

Lol, sorry. Had to do it :D

mine has been sitting for about 4 weeks. dumped the trub about 2 weeks ago. still a bit murky. i guess i'll just have to keep my eye on it and keep the trub in check

i just made my first braggot. that looks pretty good, but from what i understand, at least 51% of your fermentables need to be honey.

Just a bit of an introduction... I'm a mead maker that's recently started brewing and I'm hooked (mead takes so long!). I read through last year's thread and let me tell you, you guys make some delicious looking brews! I have a lot to live up to, but I'm sure that I can get my spiced...

dogfish head in delaware serves meads on occasion. they're braggots.

this is something i could definitely get into... a friend and i are already planning a christmas braggot that we've come up with, but i wouldn't mine trying my hand at that spiced dunkel weizenbock. my only question, what are the laws about mailing out bottles of beer?

I'm using a white labs cream ale yeast

Hmm... Doesn't leaving it on the lees cause it to have off flavors and kind of defeat the purpose of not having to rack?

i dumped the lees today and was expecting sludge to come out like soft serve ice cream, but it was just really cloudy beer. i'm wondering if it flocculated correctly or if i'm having some sort of issue.

You're getting paranoid. Your batch is doing just fine

Sounds like you're on the right track
