    mead fermentation time/temperature

    I recently made my first batch of mead, a prickly pear mead (roughly following the recipe I found here). I went easy on the honey (10lbs), and put in just under 6 pounds of peeled/boiled prickly pear flesh (not including the skins). Aeration with a stone + pure 02, a few teaspoons of pectin...

    Maerzen-like recipe suggestions please

    I'm looking for suggestions for this recipe I came up with for my first lager-type homebrew. It's mostly an attempt to get rid of a small stash of Mr. Beer ingredients in a slightly more drinkable manner than typical. My previous brews have all been ales so I'm working from a blank for this...

    too high starting gravity?

    I'm running into a new situation and would like some advice. First, a bit of background: I've brewed a couple of 5 gallon ultra-hoppy all-extract beers and have been fairly happy with them, but my love of hops doesn't always agree with my friends' tastes. I saw a brand new Mr. Beer kit w/...
