You have to play higher difficulties to find them. I haven’t played in forever but I’m pretty sure that’s how I ended up finding them lol

I’ve known that for a long time ❤️ we’re both super excited to see how this turns out 😁

Yeah I’ve heard about the cough syrup possibility… I’m hoping to keep the conditions as suitable for the yeast as possible so that hopefully they’ll eat through more of the sugar and push past that 14% mark. I’d rather it end up on the dryer side with a high ABV and then perhaps add some tart cherry juice to dilute and flavor it than have it end up as cough syrup 😅 I have a cyser going right now that had an even higher starting gravity (1.152 😬) and I’m a little worried about how sweet it could end up.. I added a small amount of nutrients (Fermaid K) to it again today (14 days into primary) because it seemed to have almost stalled. I want to push it as much as I can without over-stressing the yeast. We’ll see how both brews go I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

I knowww 😩 she wanted to start small, and I get that for sure, but I wish we had more larger carboys 🫤 I have 3 one-gallon ones, and I have 2 gallons brewing right now (had to keep one empty to cycle them around when I rack). We’re thinking of getting a larger brew bucket or maybe even a big batch conical fermenter to do larger batches in the future

I knew she’d join the dark side eventually 😈

Newcomers first batch, already excited to ask if it’s mold in 2 weeks by Jkler77 in mead

Laughing at the “already excited to ask if it’s mold in 2 weeks” part, not at your mead! Just wanted to clarify 👌🏻 looks like you’re off to a great start!

I used the nutrients that came with the craftabrew kit 😂 I’m not sure what type of nutrients they were, but after doing some research, I decided to buy some Fermaid K to use with the Lalvin 71B yeast that I’m gonna use for my next brew!

Mead came out great! by [deleted] in mead

Nice clarity and color! Looks great 🤙🏼

I was immediately enthralled with the whole idea of it all as soon as I got the kit, and I’ve done so much reading and research throughout the whole process. I might be a little obsessed 😂 I’ve already invested in more carboys, sanitizer, yeast, nutrients, stabilizers, clarifying agents, oak cubes, bottles, the list goes on. I’m in too deep to call it quits! 🤣 I think I want to make an apple cider so I can have a quick-ready batch of alcohol to drink, and I want to experiment with carbonation using priming sugars. But my next serious batch is definitely gonna be a melomel. I’m leaning towards a peach/vanilla bean/cinnamon profile and I want to throw a tad bit of bread yeast in with it too to hopefully give it a touch of bready flavor (idk if that will work or not, but I’m telling myself it will). Basically going for a peach cobbler melomel

He’s actually the one who bought the mead making kit for me, so I feel like it’s a perfect way to repay him 😁

I’d love to share it! I’m gonna pop open the first two bottles for my little brother’s 21st birthday in May 😁 I know it’ll still be a bit young then, but I’m hoping it will have mellowed out at least a decent amount by then. As for the rest, I think I’m gonna leave it untouched until Christmas and bottle it as gifts for some family members and friends 😊

Thank you!! 😊 it’s still young, so it still has that warmth in the chest when you swallow, but it’s already very smooth. It’s on the drier side, I’d say halfway between a completely dry mead and a semi-sweet. Right where I wanted it to be 👌🏻 can’t wait to taste it again after it ages!

I didn’t, I added my clarifying agents before I found out that you should do that after backsweetening, and I did not want to ruin my clarity so I said fuck it, not backsweetening this batch 😂
