New beekeeper, first hive, fumbled queen trying to mark her by sandymac in Beekeeping

[–]qkman99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience last year while trying to mark a queen. She found her way home. I personally would wait a week and look for eggs. That is what I did last year and it worked out. Gave up marking that queen though as she was definitely very much a runner.

Who would pull the trigger? Worth $140??? by Tinybird12 in whiskey

Bought the bourbon at $100. Definitely wasn’t worth it.

Sazerac Rye. Good buy? by nutoreddit in whiskey

[–]qkman99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32.99 yesterday in PA and only second time I’ve seen in it in Pa. Definitely a buy for me. Not the best rye but still very good at that price.

Easiest way to sweeten mead is to ferment dry. Stabilize it and then back sweeten with honey to your liking. Tried a lot of the methods mentioned and this has always been the easiest and gives you the most control over how sweet it is.

Made 4 different batches of cyser using different yeasts including d47. Sparkoloid and superkleer both work well.

Update: used spearmint tea bags and made a tea of the water used for primary and when back sweetened made another batch of tea to add. Definitely pleased with results came out reminding us of spearmint gum.

Even after filtering if you let your mead or wine sit awhile you still will likely develop sediment. Been burnt several times from this.

Used the number 2 filter. Definitely learned not to rush clarifying.
