So, I tried to brew some mead months ago, and had a horrendous explosion. Since then, I've still been interested, just hadn't had the time or money. Well, I found some money, so I bought some stuff. My friends tell me when something interests me, I go for the gold. I ordered from MidWest...

LHBSs here are few and far between. That, and when I do something, I go hard. So, maybe I'll pony up for them!

UPDATE: Fatbloke filled me in. They are indeed commercial demis from Brouwland.

Thanks guys! I took a look at them. I'll have to to do the price conversion stuff later, it's early here. It says they deliver world-wide, I just wonder how much it would cost to get some here. I've got carboys and such, but they'd be a nice change.

I thought the same thing when I saw them, but they look more commercial upon closer inspection and was wondering if any one had any or had seen any others elsewhere. I'm fine with small, older demijohns, we have a barn full of them, but they're bigger than these.

I know, right?!

Hey guys, I was curious if any one has seen any glassware like these, and if so, how can I get some?

Ah! guess my response didn't take earlier. I think I'll get a few Better Bottles and use the occasional glass carboy. The idea of one exploding isn't appealing.

Ooooh.

Ah! I see now. Thanks!

Besides the dropping issue, it seems like I might be able to find a harmonious balance with both. I appreciate all the input guys, that's great. I'm not sure, however, I understand the 'suckback' issue. What exactly is that? Perhaps I know of it but call it some thing else? Again, thanks for the...

I'm going to place another order for some equipment and I see that people some times use Better Bottles. Do any of you? Are there advantages to these? If so, what are they and how do they compare to glass carboys?

I thought that would be the case. Awesome, thanks for the info Chilly, I wanted to have this kind of recipe on my mind for my second batch, I think I'm going to do the routine JAOM first, and start the Blueberry one a few weeks later. This way, I'll have smaller batches and if any thing goes...

So, throw all that into my primary, let it go for...any idea how long that particular fermentation should take before I can rack it over to a secondary? I don't need an overwhelming blueberry taste, but I don't want it too subtle. I'm really looking to satiate my, and a few friends', thirst...

If I use this recipe, can I rack it to a secondary over some more blueberries? Would that work?

Hey guys, I was looking around, trying to find a recipe for a 1 gallon Blueberry Mead and I can't seem to find one. I'd like to do a small one for a few reasons: 1, to see if I like it enough to make a larger one and 2, to tide me over in the hopes that I like it so I can get some larger...

Well, lets hope I have a knack for it. Thanks for the greet. :-D

Hello all! New brewer from WV. J or Storm is fine by me. I've thought about brewing for a while now. My preference right now would be mead. Wanted to do it a long time ago, but didn't. On a whim the other day I ordered some small gallon jugs and other stuff and thought I might as well...
