@Redrider Where's the mead producer near London? I'm down there reasonably often - wouldn't mind grabbing myself a bottle

After seeing the post of the person that pitched late August, I'm wondering why I haven't hit that point yet. I made a 1 gal of JAOM. Pitched the first weekend in August. Fruit fell after about 9 weeks, however, my JAOM hasn't cleared yet. I know the directions say not to touch, and various...

cheap hairdryer on a low setting... Will move the air in the chamber too

Thirded. I just brewed an English brown - S04 tore through it in like 30 hours.... Done

Neocitran. FTW!

As someone else mentioned - I'd be making friends with a neighbour at your folks place then

Generally, correct - you don't switch a neutral.

Was at a local beer club meeting this past weekend. Lots of different beers came out - sweet and malty, to downright bitter. Can't say I had a bad beer really. Can say there are beers that I would lean towards, but everyone has their own preferences.

I brewed this a while back and made some substitutions as well. Couldn't get crystal 10, used carahell. Couldnt get cara-pils, used carabelge - full pound. Still turned out pretty darn good IMO.

Resurrecting an old one here. Thinking about a blueberry vanilla mead. How did you find the vanilla flavour with the 3 pods of vanilla bean? Thinking about a pound of blueberry per gallon, but not sure on the quantity for the vanilla bean to make it taste good without overpowering the...

I recently did a light munich, spalter SMASH. I haven't tasted the finished product yet - did sneak a taste while bottling though. Warm and uncarbonated, it had some nice flavour. Looking forward to trying it in a month or so once it has carbed up and had a little bit of time.

Never thought about the rising - maybe I will mount a box on the bottom with a keyless fixture for the bulb. Would mounting a computer fan at the top work just to circulate some air? I think I would run it constantly. Any ideas for getting it off the wall of the box to allow it some room to...

To elaborate a little further... I think I'm going to build it 2'x3' and 3' high. I will raise the bottom up and put the insulation underneath the bottom side to give a solid wood bottom. I plan to make 2 frames at 2x3 to use as the base and at the top. I will fill in the insides with...

Been trying to figure out a way to lager beer in Canada in the winter without needing a freezer at this point. I'm thinking about building a fermentation/lagering chamber. It appears that given other research, I should be able to heat it with a lightbulb on an ebay temp controller. What I...

I want to. I really do. It isn't clear yet though.....

Regarding the mead - try JAOM (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f80/joes-ancient-orange-mead-49106/). Easy. I've got my first on the go, so I can't tell you how it turns out, but judging by the comments, it doesn't disappoint. Regarding the cider, I think you first need to decide what you are...

Just started my first mead. JAOM. Peeled the oranges and just put what I would normally eat in there. Patiently brewing beer until October.

Cold crashing and pasteurization will accomplish the same thing. Pasterization will kill the yeast off while cold crashing will only make them go dormant. Re: Xylitol - add to the whole batch - that way you will get an even mix. When you rack over to your bottling container, put the xlitol...

Bottled. Taste from the bottling - green, but excellent.
