I am only planning to give out a couple of bottles but I can't guarantee when it will be drunk. On a side not JAOM is very tasty with scotch. I tried this as the mead reminded me of Drambuie.

I made some JAOM a while back and got some sediment in my bottles, I want to give some away for Xmas, can I re-bottle it without risking oxidation? I have access to CO2 and could put some in the bottles first.

I just tried some JAOM and Scotch kinda like a rusty nail (Drambuie and Scotch) pretty tasty. I find the JAOM a little sweet on it's own.

No idea, I just heard about it from someone else.

There is a new place on Mountain ave that I have not yet visited but the other places in Moncton get their grain from the Noble Grape in Halifax.

The Noble Grape. They also have kegging supplies etc.

The closest place to get grain is in Halifax unfortunately. I am hoping to do some partial grain kits here soon, I have had 3 here forever, hoping my yeast is still good! Just haven't had time with work.

They definitely have smaller cones and less plentiful cones, as well as smaller leaves. I am sure re-planting them in some good fertile soil will improve that somewhat as the ones I found are growing in a ditch on the side of a busy road. Oh and i do have some Hallertauer and Northern Brewer...

I am told they are good, but who knows? And maybe they really are wild. I was planning to dig some up in the fall, maybe in a month or so. Anyway, we'll see I guess.

I heard rumours that there are wild hops growing around here, and low and behold I checked out a tip yesterday and found some growing in a ditch. I am assuming these are something that naturalized themselves from old farms etc. from British colonial times. Anyway, I want to dig some up and...

Awesome! I am hoping to do all grain soon. Would love some guidance.

I am planning on milling one from a 36" maple log. Why all the work? Why not? and if it doesn't turn out, I can just go buy one.

I have a pilsner like that now. I am so building a counter flow chiller... Will time help by any chance?

I am going to make a longer one then... I can always reduce the flow for ales and increase for lagers.

is it possible to chill too fast? I was looking at building a counter flow wort chiller, most are 15ft, what if I went 20-25 ft?

1.010 I have since added 2.5 L of sqeezed raspberry juice and a little EC 1118 champagne yeast. If I had more time I should have added the yeast first, let it go for a week or so, then hit with sorbate then the juice.

Whatever it is, it is damn good and luckily only a few friends like it!

Well, I thought I was done with canned kits, but I had a Cooper's European Lager kicking around. So what did I do? I bought another kit and decided to use both cans but no added sugars or malts. I brewed it with 3 packages of the Lager yeast that came with the kit... why did I have an extra...

So I made my first mead, my plan originally was for a slightly sweet mead, back sweetened with raspberries. So I started with 18lbs of honey for a 6 gallon batch using Lalvin 71B-1122, OG was 1.100. I did have some temperature issues by the second week with temps reaching the low 80s. but...

Well, I will have to get out to see your operation. I will be out that way likely Thursday afternoon or Friday Morning
