I have my 3rd ever batch of mead in the primary. Made it a week ago, I never took a hydrometer reading. How do I test the alcohol content?

Yeah I'm kind of going for that feel of cider especially with fall & winter right around the corner, last cider I made was awful, this wine just a little sweeter was the taste i was going for. This sounds like the plan. thanks man.

i just bottled and tasted my first batch of it, its amazing, but i want to make another batch but sweeter. any way i can mod the recipie?

so its like a carbonated mead that is also technically a malt beverage. what ever it is it sounds really good!

wow, i have a clamp just like that laying around, its such a good idea too! my girls making sangria tonight, Im going to take one of the synthetic corks and try to cork the wine she uses with the clamp to see how well it works/how risky it would be. if it aint worth it then ill just pick up a...

was wondering if anyone here has used house hold items or made a quick trip to home depot and made they're own wine corker. cause they want to charge $100 for a good one :mad: if you look at them its mainly leverage just i wouldn't know how to make it so i don't snap the bottle

yeah Boerderij Kabouter, that was classic

before you stir up the bottom what kind are you making because about 99% of the time stirring anything in a bucket during the fermentation process is a horrible idea. FYI: i sanitize my wooden spoon along with all my tools in the dishwasher first on the "sanitize setting" cause the water gets...

ohh man, wish this was out in like May lol going to try this once one of my carboys are clear

yeah, I'll put some olive oil in it and some herbs and have a lovely salad before work tonight :D

do you mean like he said when he ran it through his distiller? would that boost the abv noticeably or just a waste of time?

speaking of that "prison hooch" i made. god it was like kool-aide and vodka. then after having it opened for a little while it became very vinegar-esque. so no one listen to me when i think of a random idea... ever. I am going to try the one they have on here that uses the juice from...

well last night in a drunken stuper I posted on this site if anyone had a clone recipe :oops lol but you don't realize how much abv they really got until you drink one or two down, then wake up the next morning not realizing how drunk u actually were. I never re-stilled it, just go paper bag...

for some reason, nothing compares to having a good time with friends while drinking a nice ice cold olde english 40 ounce, or maybe a colt 45. just wondering if anyone was the proud owner of a recipe clone for olde english im a little trashy right now, thank bill gates for spell check or I...

so if you were to do it this way, you would have to leave some of the grape skins in the primary fermentation.

thats my favorite part! it sounds like a threat from a highschool kids

primary fermentation... 2 weeks. do I have to rack it after 2 weeks, or can I just let the primary fermentation die down first cause Ive had it in the first for about a week and a half now.

I just realized, that out of stupidity I used my secondary carboy for another batch of mead. would it be cool if I siphoned the mead into a bucket, cover it for a few minutes while i clean out the primary carboy and then re-rack it? or would the double siphoning disturb it too much?

like a see-saw?

why thank you. hope it helped well way back when... I was djing at a local night spot and my initials are MB... reverse them and its BM... Bowl Movement, so my drunk ass friend started to call me dj movement.... not because i sound like **** or anything, just he was tired of calling me dj mike...
