Honey, green tea and lemon mjod

Great Valentines day drink

This mead is awesome, fruity and dry, clear and clean, im doing this again.

Not sure if any one will see this, but, the beer fermented down to 1.010 and I bottled it yesterday. Happily there were no off flavors. Thanks again for the help.

I have no idea, but considering the footage I have seen of the bottles/corks In caves in France, I personally am not concerned. Perhaps synthetic corks would address this. Any other thoughts?

Nope no router or regular bit due to drilling 2 stacks clamped side by side. Hole saws worked well, pain to pull out wood and I usually had to drill twice per hole due to friction. But overall not too bad a job.

Primary 2 weeks, secondary 2 weeks, still in keg (waiting for temp to drop below 30deg) plan on 6 months to 1yr, nice thing about keg, I can try it without opening a bottle.

Plans are going to have to be the pictures but here is a writeup of my experience. Ok, this will be a first so here is what I did B-). 1- purchased 2 packs of furring strips 1x3x8 ish (usualy comes in pacs of 6 tied with nylon banding, leave together) Clamped packs together tight...

The table is a wooden folding table which is probably older than me. I had considered putting in a table similar to a middle ages pub table (very similar to a picnic table), But now I will have to look at the Indiana Jones movie and consider that design.

The wall is cement on the bottom 1/2 and not stable in that direction at the top. I secured the top board to the floor joists above with 3 1/2 inch screws on every joist available (6 I think). I also built the 2X4 portion in place, used PT 4X4's on the floor and cut all vertical 2X4's 1/4"...

It was probably a bit easier to build as one unit for my purposes, but splitting it into sections would certainly be no problem.

current wines: 14gal Diamond for champagne 11gal Catawba 5gal still/ 5gal sparkling 5 gal Foch, 5gal Steuben, 5gal Concord, 5gal Niagara, 5gal Blushing Bride (rose blend), 5gal Fredonia.

So I made 65 gallons of wine this year and it dawned on me "what the heck am I going to do with all those bottles coming up?" So, true to my cheap roots I set about building my own wine racks out of furring strip and 2x4s, here is the cellar so far. Lots of mess, man am I sore, good excuse to...

Thanx again to all :-)

Yes I pitched the WPL099 after the EC118 starter did not show any activity increase.

Would racking a few times help with the EX 111A issue?

UPDATE :D The starter appears to be working. There is regular activity as indicated by the airlock consistently bubbling every few seconds. so hopefully things will work out. Anything else I should do? how long do you estimate this tertiary fermentation will take?

Good and bloody red, and the taste is gut. tusind tak
