    Oaking an Imperial Stout

    Nice! I oaked my imperial stout. I can't recall exactly, but I ended up soaking about 40-50 medium toast oak cubes in about 300 ml of Woodinville Whiskey before pitching it into the secondary. I let it age out for several months with the cubes/whiskey in the secondary. I pitched this all into...

    Firestone Walker Velvet Merlin Oatmeal Stout Clone

    I have used the following method a number of times: add 3/4 cup Dutch cocoa powder at flameout. My only complaint is that it makes the head kind of bubbly and dissipate quickly, I have supposed due to the addition of the cocoa oils. But it is worth it!

    Harvest is here!

    Harvest is here!

    This is great! How much cider are you expecting to yield? I think I once read that it takes 25 of those 5 gallon buckets full of fruit (apples / pears) to yield 5 gallons of cider.

    Blackberry Mead (Melomel)

    I just ended up with 5.5 lbs of huckleberries from this year's venture through the high elevations of NE Washington. I will make this again, adding 2.5 lbs of big bountiful blackberries. I will only use 9 lbs of fireweed honey this time. When I add the berries this time I will purée with...
