Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on this, I love oaked ciders and found this on Adventures in Homebrewing and wanted to try it out as an experiment. Good idea, bad idea? http://www.homebrewing.org/5-Liter-Oak-Barrel_p_5167.html I know that sometimes you can get large barrels cheaper...

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked before but I figured I'd rely on the experts. I got this fancy dancy brew bucket and FTSs on eBay for a sweet deal and I'm trying cider for the first time. It's a Graff and everything is exactly the same except I used some WhiteHouse and Musselmans cider...

Yesterday I racked off my strawberry mead after stabilizing it and after racking I backsweetened a little. Today I find this weird stuff. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Okay so I think I'm in the right forum. Maybe. Anyways I have bottled my meads for a while now and some recipes I can't carbonate unless it is force carbonated. So after looking at more of the pros for legs I finally decided to save up a little money for a keg kit. So I'm needing all the bells...

I made a mead yesterday (5 gal. 17lbs honey and a few oranges)and I stored it in my closet which is 72 degrees while it was fermenting and I read about the yeast in Schramms book and it said it had a temp range up to 80 so I wasn't worried about it. Today I looked it up because I was bored and...

I made a 1gallon batch of it a couple months ago and I loved it. I was wanting to use the cuties clementines from the store for a 5 gallon batch. How many should I use? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have a 5 gallon batch of mead that's been sitting in a secondary for at least 5 months and I was gonna use super kleer on it to clear it up. Can I just throw it as it is or do I need to rack it to another container to get rid of the sediment. I know I have to stir it to aerate it. Sent from...

Might be in the wrong thread for this but I've read up a little on this topic and I am convinced that using k-meta is the preferred method of sanitizing corks. can anyone tell me how to go about doing this? Something about using the gas to sanitize them. I'm a little confused lol Sent from my...

I've been searching for a cheap glass carboy in the Knoxville area since I don't want to have to pay shipping for what I could just buy a new 5 gallon at my local brew store. I've read of whole foods having some that they put apple juice in but I don't believe there are any of those stores here...

I have decided to cork my 5 gallons of my first mead but I don't want to spend an awful amount on a rack to store the bottles on. Anyone know of a cheap wine rack or how I can build one for cheap? I'll be using 750 ml bottles so about 25 bottles at least. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Home...
