Anyone Brew?

[2Wheels4Ever]

I recently tried my hand at some home brewing and I am very pleased with the results. I would love to get into brewing beer, but for now mead has been fun and easy. Honey, water and yeast yields in a pretty good drink.

I want to. I really want to brew some sout beverage and then purity it of water.

Plans are in my head as of now.

Ya, I was thinking the same thing. What does mead make when all of the water is gone?

 

[Member 5605]

Distill it. ;-)

I brew, have been for about 6 years now. If you want to drive up to mcminnville next time i put a batch together, you are more than welcome. We drink a few beers and smoke a cigar or two. Good times.

I've been curious about it lately. It's becoming more popular.
From what I been told it's all about patience.

The patience part is hard haha. This mead takes about 5 months to brew and they say it needs about a year to age.

The stuff tasted like diesel at first but now has mellowed out nicely. It should only get better with age.

I have wanted to try it....but the prep is sooo tedious.

I've been making mead for ten or twelve years now. Got around 60 gallons in my storage.

Just started wine making. Blackberry and a rhubarb honey wine in the works. First raking Dec, 23, taste test and let set for a few months.
Hot sauce will be ready to bottle next week. This stuff will peel the white off your teeth.

Been making mead for four years and the stuff really transforms with age. Would suggest you try some kit wines as well. Makes it easier to age your goods when you've got tons of different varieties laying around.

Got more frozen blackberry's in the freezer. Starting those after the first of the year.

Any of you guys need a quality taste tester, I volunteer!

Now I know what wine thief is. That's a friend that comes to visit and sneaks into your wine cellar when you aren't looking.
