I have been brewing for a couple years now and am transitioning to partial mash and all grain from all extract. Can anyone tell me how many pounds of raw grains it takes to equal 3 lbs of extract (that's how my home brew store sells it) ? Appreciate it guys!
My first mead is in the secondary. Happy with my results so far. 14.5-15 abv. It is a little dry to me. I saw something about " back sweetening" to get my desired taste. How do you do this and with what?
I am attempting my first mead tomorrow. I have 12 lbs of clover honey, and Lavin EC-1118 yeast. Which I now understand is for a dry type of wine. How can I keep it more on the semi sweet side? Doing a five gallon batch.
