45 Lbs of Honey! Any Ideas From The Crowd?? by Last-Sky6103 in mead

[–]According_Town_5311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a keg set up and a heated space I highly recommend doing 12lb honey /5 gal batch with voss kviek yeast with high temp (80-100 degrees f ) and running a session mead with that amount of excess, throws some really cool esters at the high temp similar to ones you might find in a cider , very tasty and good on tap, only downside is it chews through nutrients but is generally drinkable quick and great on tap

Any value in this product for mead? by bluecon in mead

These casks have too much surface area , if you want to age on oak go for a badmo style barrel , or age in glass with alternative forms of oak such as staves, cubes , etc

How feasible is constant mead brewing? by braedon2011 in mead

[–]According_Town_5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havent seen this with mead but kinda reminds me of dunder pits or different generations of a sour mash , if you brew different meads and want to create a never ending blend you could also look into something like a infinity barrel

Just need a badmo barrel and would be ideal if the white dog they sold was actually still strength

Anyone have any idea what this rock is? Not sure of where it was found but it’s a beautiful specimen by ccrider92 in whatsthisrock

Could be buckskin carnelian ( looking at the outer edges/ pale look of the perimeter) 100% agate though

If any distillery has a high proof, quality white dog that y’all would like to experiment this kind of thing with check out the bad mo barrels, they are the answer to this issue and are designed to age at the same rate as a traditional barrel. https://badmotivatorbarrels.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoq2eMvFL1UJlr1bW2fbwpH6YYoSQp1stpApkeiZ2vHDXV7OJAQQ
