Came home with a good haul of #mead and a pretty cool mirror that we're going to repaint for the hall bathroom when we redo it in the next couple weeks (as soon as we find a vanity we like).
#diy#fridge controller replacement continues. 5V to 12V DC to DC converter. Adjusted to 12V. Electrical tape on the back, working on a big metal surface, LOL. #electronics#project#homebrew
Putting the setpoint high, 70F, just for testing. Might use this for my #mead, which is fermenting at a higher temp than desired... from info from @n6cta I see you want fermentation at below 70F for better flavor and less harsh alcohols. #electronics#fridge
The #sound of #mead brewing. Glup..... glup.... glup......glup... (4 gallons now, 2 gallons of blackberry mead, another 2 gallons of straight...err.... pollen-filled mead) #beekeeping#homebrew
#blackberry#mead, Day 2. Yeast is active. Smells pleasantly like... yeast. Made with #honey (not quite ripe) that we removed from an outside cabinet. Currently exposed to air, will probably air lock this today since the yeast has started up now.
Hmm, an entire bucket of unripe #honey from a hive removal today. I think that means we are brewing #mead. (otherwise, it ferments...) #homebrew#beekeeping
Rubus fruticosus, amazing #wildlife#NativePlant, with blossom and edible fruit. Supports at least 450 species of invertebrate. Who wouldn't want this in their #WildlifeGarden?
Differences between process for mead and cider?
Hello, I have made several batches of mead and I really enjoyed it. How much of a difference is there with mead vs cider?
