If you don't want to water it down to get rid a head space, I've had good results with sanitized glass marbles

As long as you rack it off the lees and eliminate any head space bulk aging should be perfectly fine.

Ya I am definitely replying to this

The only thing I am doing differently with my set up is raising the HLT above the rest to make it a two tier system. This way I can fly sparge the excess water from it and use the pump to take the wort from the MT to the BK. Besides that it is the exact same system I am building. Good luck on...

Lol that way it will get a proper aging and if they drink it before then and its not ready I'll just say its karma for not finishing the game

All he needs is to replace his gun with a bow and have a horn of mead and he'd be doing it right. Anyone have ideas for a skyrim mead? I bought some juniper berries and loved them but I love gin. I want to be able to give a bottle to my other gaming friends to drink once they finish every part...

What I like to do with my meads occasionally is I will get fresh fruit and muddle it in a wine decanter and then add a bottle of plain mead. If you let that soak for 30 minutes it is fantastic. This way you can pretty much have any melomel fruit blend you want using the plain base. Plus if you...

What I was planning on doing in mine since I want it to be mobile so I can brew anywhere. I plan on setting up my box to run both. I am going to install 240 elements and then make two 120 heatsticks How to Build an Electric Homebrewing Heatstick Audio Tutorial Podcast and Step by Step Photo...

Nevermind I take back the tankard. I NEED one of those. That is beautiful. I have a feeling if I was drinking mead out of that I would be consumed with a desire to go kill and skin something and wear its pelt around my shoulders with its head as a helmet.

I just wish I had a tankard to drink out of instead of a glass mug. I'm working on a recipe for a skyrim mead if anyone wants to join. Most likely with juniper berries since that is one of the first things you hear in the game.

Ya the day I got the game I broke out a few bottles of my mead. It was awesome. If someone comes up with a recipe I would love to get a whole group to do a skyrim mead

My name is Timothy and I have been brewing for a tad bit over a year now. I am a senior ocean engineering major and work at O'bannon's Taphouse. I jumped straight into all grain brewing and never looked back. I guess I originally started by making mead but I had my first batch of beer bottled...

Ya I stopped by while I was in town

I was planning in brewing an IPA as my next need I will definately try this but add more hops since yours didn't have that flavor of the commercial version. I bought some the other day in Houston and loved them

I have actually read a little on doing this but haven't tried it yet. Acorns are full of tannins and in order to remove them the Indians used to place them in a fast moving stream and the constant flow removed a lot of the tannins. I'd would be very interested in how this turns out
