they say atlest 2# per gallon before you can taste it.
I recently used the vodka soak method and we'll see how that turns out with the mead going right now.

next mead up is cinnamon stick and vanilla bean.

 

[claphamsa]

er? so Chuck 10 LBS of cranberry in? should I do anything to them first? how long to soak (ive never done anything but strait meade)

 

[BigKahuna]

Only my friends call me Chuck....So You're good

At least roughly chop them., perhaps a rinse with Vodka

 

[claphamsa]

hmmm, then what do you do with the vodka after wards? gotta get some extra cranberry juice... the trials of brewing

 

[claphamsa]

ok no cranberry

so i got 2 frozen cranberry juice things!

also, took the other 5 gallons, cut up about 7 ruby reds, put them in the 5 gallon secondary, then racked to fill... then bottles the other 7 bottles worth (which is good, cuz I only had 7 bottles!)

then made some apfelwin, and when i was putting the airlock into my bucket... the nipple fell in, so i quick washed one of the carboys of meade, and racked it into there.... never found the nipple tho!

 

[claphamsa]

I wonder if they are ready yet!

 

[BigKahuna]

[Ecnerwal]

Why would anyone bash you? You're helpful, and informative.

ok, serious question this time.... when will I know its done? the grapefruit sinks? its starting to shrivel.... as all those sexy ruby reds get sucked out!

 

[claphamsa]

I think im gonna take a "hydrometer sample" of my cranberry meade.....

 

[BigKahuna]

ok, serious question this time.... when will I know its done? the grapefruit sinks? its starting to shrivel.... as all those sexy ruby reds get sucked out!

taste it. You;'ll know. try and not pay any attention to the other flavors...just the strength of the fruit flavor. Like green beer, you'll be amazed at how different this will taste in a few months!

 

[claphamsa]

well i took a hydro sample of the cranbery.... and its a little different but not much just kinda red!

Dude, you have a spear. I for one try not to f*ck with people with spears.
