Do you know what type of honey you'll be using? Does it come with the kit or do you have to purchase it seperately?

Not really a kit, I'm ordering all the equipment from here thought:

And that's the kind of honey I plan to use, unless somebody has a better suggestion.

That sounds like really good honey. I've only used grocery store honey in beers and I like it only in moderation.

not brewing yet.. but I got a gift card for some wine making gear…

Soo I will be trying to make a citrus wine as I am kinda obsessed with all things citrus…

also I wanna try mixing it with my already very successful soft drink recipe.

I might want to try mead making later…

I am gonna get the smallest carboy I can get so I can do small test batches and experiment more…

I hear citrus wine is quite hard to get right so that also part of why I am doing small batches.. I suspect it might take me a few turns to get right…

I've never even heard of that. And it sounds really dank. I'm bottling a Pumpkin Ale today. Just waiting for the bottles to dry in the dishwasher.

Well it's something pretty simple, just 15 pounds of honey, 6 pounds of cherries, and a cup of lime juice. The fermentation gas smells pretty damn good, so I'm pretty excited to taste some of it.

A 1 gallon or a 3 gallon? I've made good use of a 3 gallon before, but if you're going to do something and put all the effort in to it might as well brew up 5 gallons! You're not doing extreme experiments or anything right? Citrus sounds like a good thing to be obsessed with as it seems like an untapped market for wine.

I also just started a batch of Kilju, which is just sugar water and yeast. I've done this before and I remember it tasting like major ass, but I also didn't remove the yeast that well.

I just started making mead a few months ago. All I've got is an 8-gallon fermenter and a 1-gallon demijohn. But I make some mean-ass mead.

Pic related. Left is black mead. Right is my 1488 blend show mead. The bottles above were left over from my first 7-bottle batch (also show mead, semi-dry).

Is that black mead a brochet, (burnt honey)? Or something else? Also, what's in the 1488 blend?

Anonymous 02/22/15 (Sun) 11:10:44 No.28

It's a black mead, which is contains black currant juice along with the honey. It's finished now and delicious :)

The 1488 blend is 14% alcohol by volume, and 88 grams per liter of sugar from honey left over. It's a simple show mead (just honey, water, yeast).

Oh nice. Yeah, I was making a nice cherry melomel, and it's basically done. I just added the bentonite right now, so tomorrow I'll be siphoning it into some jars.

Currently brewing sparkling wine/strong cider from my own berries. Wont probably taste like sparkling wine at all, at least I used champange-yeast. And the process of removing the yeast is autistic as fuck, "dancing" the bottles or whatever it is called. At least there is pressure in the bottles, 'cuz one of them started leaking the other day. Just hoping it will be drinkable, I have at least 15 litres of it.

I also have a kiwi/orange/grapefruit wine bubbling atm.

10kg of kiwis

5kg of orange

3kg of grapefruit

8kg of sugar

A friend of mine bought the ingredients and I brew the wine, next time he'll be able to brew it himself.

Currently drinking carrot wine, still 4 bottles of it left.

Don't have pick related, so have a quality finnish maymay instead.
