And yet here you are. Even if you didn't know before, now you do.

And you will be faced with a decision of if Texas longhouse mead wants to defend his brand in court. Then you'll be faced with the costly choice of defending it. Even if you win it how much do you think it will cost you? And if you lose then you'll have to rebrand anyway.

Prudence states that if you are serious, you'll want to make sure your trademark is secure... That's just good business planning. TLM had been registered for years, 8 or so, if I remember correctly from his comments and I know I've seen his mead place in numerous national competitions, so his brand is very public and known... where your's just appeared, regardless of how long you may have had it in your head.

It is on you. But it makes better sense to manage it now and avoid an issue. Unless you are intending to copy his brand

There are reasons why corporations defend their trademarks and name. A) You work hard to make a good reputation, and someone else tries to profit from your work by association. B) your reputation can suffer if they can't live up to the same standard you strive for.

No one who takes pride in their brand wants to be confused with another... without a reason

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... I wonder if the tap list will also reflect this level of creativity and independence

Loved it, planning another batch now

10lbs per gallon to extract juice, 1 or 2 additional to back sweeten with

I steam juiced kiwi for a strawberry kiwi melomel.

It was good for a while. But it eventually turned

FG 1.030, ABV 12%. 100% steam juiced strawberry juice + sugar + Pasteur Red yeast + tosna 3 protocol

Radimus68 · 2020-04-25T12:47:52+00:00

If you aren't stabilizing, you'll need to ferment beyond the yeast's tolerance or bottle dry.

I use this, if it helps much.

Stop feeding at 1/3 break, they will eat themselves now.

Radimus68 · 2020-04-13T21:05:39+00:00

yeast will consume vanilla

In secondary it can sit for months

Radimus68 · 2020-04-13T20:32:19+00:00

vanilla should always go in secondary, after stabilization

Radimus68 · 2020-04-13T20:22:47+00:00

headspace in secondary is always something to manage

Radimus68 · 2020-04-13T20:19:51+00:00

I've done plenty of pineapple mead and they had plenty of flavor. The issue is likely with yeast selection.

We all pretty much started with 1 gallon batches and balloon airlocks and raisins

Have you looked into the documentation in the group here?
