    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    That's the way I'm making mine. SWMBO not fond of cinnamon or clove so I figured we could do without. Hope we like it as much as you did!

    Perilla - or, nothing ventured nothing gained

    I am still pretty new to brewing, with only a few batches under my belt. And it would be an understatement to say I've learned a lot, mostly the hard way. The good news is that of the 4 batches brewed so far WITHOUT broken glass in them (damn floating thermometers), all have turned out very...

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    Near Gooding. A guy keeps beehives on their property and pays his rent in honey, so I got some. I see you are up north.

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    Just did my first batch of this yesterday, using honey from my parents' farm in Idaho. Assuming it turns out well, I will be doing it more cause it's dead easy.

    Dark Mild Mild Mannered Ale (AG) (E) UK/US

    My floating thermometer busted in my mash

    Ugh. This happened to me during the chilling process once. My brewing partner and I were doing it the hard way - ice bath and stirring hard. Apparently I bumped the thermometer with the spoon. We toyed with straining the wort but ended up dumping it. We were more concerned about glass...

    Used Stainless Panel 20x16x8 barter for Expertise

    Hmmm... those are nice panels. I am also about to embark on a build project and one of those sure would be sweet. Unfortunately I don't have much in the way of expertise to trade for one. And I'm in Chicago. How many do you have?

    Hi from Chicago

    Been reading this forum for about a year, finally posting. My friend and I are just getting into brewing and finding ourselves with very little time - so we decided to invest in building a system that will make more beer in less time. This forum has been the #1 source of information and...
