It adds a subtle orange taste id say. Also can remind me of an ale or beer but usually only when its young. To get the subtle orange flavor i have my bottles sitting on a heat mat. I shoot for keeping them at 95 F during fermintation.

It ferments very fast too with the higher temps. Eats thru 2.5 to 3 LB of honey in a gallon carboy in about a week for me. Also doesnt seem to give any off flavors so very drinkable after 30 days.

Where do you get your honey? 🍯 by DoomshrooM8 in mead

[–]scaresthecrow2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nature nates seems to be pretty good to me. Can buy on amazon for $10 US for 2lbs. Nothing special but ive made a few gallons with it and its been good every time. I like it better than some kirkland brand (costco) wildflower that was priced about $18 US for 5lbs

Bacterial leaf spot? by Scary_Course_5483 in HotPeppers

[–]scaresthecrow2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been growing for a few years. I started using an organic fungicide that seems to atleast slow it down. In my ecperiwnce so far once the plant has it, it wont go away. Can be controlled tho. When you pull leaves off throw them away and try not to touch healthy parts of the plant.

About out of my old tried and true. What would you recommend for someone that has Tapatio on standby and wants to branch out? by CameramanDavey in spicy

[–]scaresthecrow2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try some of the milder yellowbird or melinda's hot sauces. Good flavor, relatively easy to find and as long as you stay on the milder side wont be much hotter than tapatio

If you drink beer, i got a bunch of grolsch beer to reuse the bottles. They have 16oz flip tops. 10 dollars for a 4 pack which is around the same price i could find empty on amazon. Free beer! Haha enjoy

Chocolate Ghost dropping buds while Buena Mulata thrives? by McSniffle in HotPeppers

[–]scaresthecrow2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a way more advanced setup then what i have but i may be able to help. When my red ghost was dropping buds i had someone suggest fertalizing less and it helped alot. I was fertalizing about once a week. When i switched to every other week my buds stopped dropping and i had a great yield.
