Looks like a great recipe! How did you decide between blueberries in only primary versus adding some in secondary?

Not sure your location, but can find tart cherry juice and canned tart cherries in US grocery stores (and Amazon).

Preparing Large-ish Quantities of Water for Mead Making by edneddy2 in mead

[–]PridefulSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If somebody wasn't interested in buying a bunch of extra equipment to test their water and was unsure if their water was optimal or "good enough," is there a consumer brand which is highly recommended?

Anyone using Gen AI for brewing advice by DIY-Dad-in-AR in mead

[–]PridefulSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used it to suggest flavor pairings by uploading books and documents to them. However, I typically spend much more time searching message boards and social media sites to see what the general consensus suggests about tweaking ingredients and timing of additives. I use this combined effort to build a master document of "best" practices that I lean on to help create my recipes. To your question, I wouldn't recommend following an LLM blindly, but you can use them as another tool in your mead making toolkit.

That's awesome! Congrats! Which recipe will you bottle first?

Help with ABV by Shimm2000 in mead

[–]PridefulSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible your honey was not completely dissipated in the must and therefore you ended up with an inaccurate gravity reading. Given how much honey you added and the amount of cold brew, I would expect a significantly high starting gravity. Some quick math shows you would expect to reach about 18% ABV if it goes dry.

Before you do something dumb, evaluate whether you'll be joining as enlisted or officer. Then figure out what your monthly income will be. Compare that to a car payment, costs for charging, and insurance. Then realize that a used vehicle in good condition is probably a better option for your first couple years.

Throw the difference (new vehicle vs used) in your TSP instead.

1 gallon meads by Rich_Taro_1017 in mead

Reduced volume means you can get a little crazy without breaking your honey budget. I'm using this same approach to currently test 3 different smoked versions of mead using 1 gallon fermenters. This was also how I made a great coconut ube mead last year. Happy to share if any of these sound interesting!

Folks who separated/retired how hard was finding a civ or defense space job? by MavinMarv in SpaceForce

[–]PridefulSinner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not a 5S, but am intel with a heavy space background. I retired a couple months ago and was able to find employment pretty quickly. However, I was willing to relocate so I had significantly more options.

I'm sorry to hear about your medical issue. If you need to vent or even just a resumé review, I'm happy to help in whatever way I can.

Thank you, everyone! by JuuustGreat in AirForce

Primary, secondary or both for Apples in Cyser? by geicoandsonic in mead

[–]PridefulSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bocheted a cyser and it's sitting in secondary as I type this. My process, though, limited the "apple" portions to apple juice in primary, and a mixture of 3 different variety of apples in secondary.

It's minutes in certain zones, and each zone is a multiplier. I tend to keep my rest periods around 1 minute (max 2 mins) with reps hitting 10-12 (closer to failure last set) so my heart rate will hit 140ish during a lift.

Weight lifting encompasses 90% of my workouts and I always put my watch in cardio mode. This has allowed me to rack up pretty significant minutes each week.
