Also Shadow of Intent released an orchestral version of Elegy. Only listened to a few tracks so far and it ain’t deathcore, but it’s related so worth a mention.
Woah, nice writeup! I'll be honest, every time I ever made mead I just winged it. Like... Is it still bubbling? Not done, wait for it. Not bubbling? See if it's still sweet. Yes? More (stronger) yeast. Repeat until satisfied. Might do some readings next time, pretend I know what I'm doing 😅
I recently acquired a stainless steel conical fermenter as a long-desired upgrade to my brewing setup - I've been using 5gal plastic carboys until now, but I wanted to move away from them as I'm a bit leery of plastics leaching out while stuff sits in there for months at a time....
Had a small stainless steel fermenter. No issues with flavor and cleaning is at least as easy as plastic. Bonus points, you can use hot water without wondering what that does to it. Cleaning tip: don't use anything that'll scrub that pretty shiny steel surface. Many cleaning sponges say they scratch-free. I found that to be a lie. If it has a rough side, keep it away from the steel.
How many of you make mead? I made my last small batch for Thanksgiving and I've just gotten caught up with life and other hobbies and forgot it existed until I saw this community.
Been a while since I last made mead. I need to find me a good source for some honey and fix this. Best I ever managed to make was a blackberry mead, a good while back. Used a whole lot of foraged berries, real flavory and unexpectedly sweet. After the yeast finished fermenting it was still full of sugary goodness so I added champagne yeast and fermented some more. Don't recall the abv I managed to get on it, and being the neanderthal that I am I didn't write it down.
Trying to imagine it. If it's too hot it might overpower every other flavor so I'd probably try to balance it out with something and maybe try to keep it from getting too dry. But that's just me. Do give an update whenever this is done!

Opening my hibiscus mead (pasteboard.co)
Opened my first bottle of hibiscus mead. I think it needs longer to carbonate, or I might have not added enough carbonation sugar. Probably both....

Anyone have experience with brewing in a stainless steel fermenter?
