    Weird bitterness

    I am fermenting 15 gallons of mead. Up until this week at sampling, it has tasted clean. Not it has an odd bitterness once the gravity got below 1.000. expected abv is 8.7% and fermented with a Belgian strong yeast. Has anyone else had this happen?

    No SG change in 6 days

    What is the pH? Could it have gotten below 3 to kind of dormatize the yeast?

    Natural Yeast Nutrient

    I am ok will adding fruits or veggies in a minute sense to get the needed nutrients. I guess I will have to play and see what comes of it. I have read raisins are a good source. I am hoping to keep it as natural as I can.

    Natural Yeast Nutrient

    I am getting into making mead. I have been reading about the need for yeast nutrient. Most have been DAP and Fermaid-K. I was wondering if anyone uses a natural, read a fruit or vegetable, that someone has added to their mead to boost the FAN in the mead. Thanks

    My cows got into my hops. Only chinook has survived. RIP centennial, sorachi ace, and teamaker. Side note: can I dig up the rhizomes and replant elsewhere? This fall or next spring?

    Oak spiral question

    Question, has anyone done a Brett beer with and oak spiral and immediately used the spiral again to get some Brett in another beer? This would be similar to using a barrel again for its flora.

    First cider help

    We made out first cider, apple from the yard that we juiced. We pitched champagne yeast. In 1.5 weeks, it hit 1.000. So we cold crashed it. Before cold crashing, it tasted great but after two weeks crashing it tastes harsh. Has anyone seen this? Any comments on what may have happened?
