At the title implies, I am considering using this for my next mead or possibly a melomel. I am possibly going to do a blackberry and juniper brew with wildflower honey. I will likely begin with an SG of 1.095 give or take a few points, and use an SNA consisting of Fermaid K, O, and DAP. The...

Tonight I pitched my first kveik mead using Voss from Omega. I didn't use a starter, and pitched it into 2 gallons of Ozarka spring water and 5 lbs of local raw wildflower honey. I am doing this mainly as a massive starter to harvest and re-use more of the yeast when the temps come back up and...

I'm posting this here because this began as a mead. So I racked 3 gallons of mead out of a 5 gallon carboy into a 3 gallon one to secondary for awhile. It was fine, and smells good, and will sit there for a month or so. I used M05 yeast which has treated me pretty well, and I didn't want to...

So I decided to try a little something made from recovered and expanded Wyeast 1388 used in my last batch of cyser (Apple / pear) that was so amazing, I shared and drank 3 gallons in 2 weeks. I have studied and applied much of Bray's BOMM, with the various alterations and variations, along with...
