gAWD at the casket 07 maybe?

WarEnd tending to things in 09.

last year we had both set ups going, poured about 450 gallons of home brew.

haha sexy...i'm only running at 45 gallon holding capacity...thinking about modding a sanke for the mead...hopefully I can get a $10 dollar bulk order for some more soda kegs...i just put in a craigs offer for 3 more co2 tanks (5 total)...soda kegs are getting harder to find...and non of my other friends brew...I might have to resort to ole fashion bottling...lol

I don't think I could ever go back to bottling.
Maybe down to 2 liter soda plastic soda bottles but never back to bottles themselves. What a pain they are.

MEAD! the reason god invented alcohol

mead popsicles in the desert - oh yggi that would be WONDERFUL

or is that not what you where thinking?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Thu May 19, 2011 7:39 am

I was thinking that, GD......and, convenient storage here at home.
I have 5 gallons that's been aging for 6 months or so, and, if it's as good as I hope, when I tap it, it'd be cool to be able to freeze.
I know the alcohol will interfere with freezing at certain temps, and, the concentration will effect that as well.
What I'm wondering more is will it effect the flavors?

FATCAMP · Post by **FATCAMP** » Thu May 19, 2011 9:39 am

haha it would take a lot of freezing power for my mead...I ferment for a year or more...then re add more honey 2 weeks before bottling

My understanding is that it won't freeze completely, it will just freeze most of the water, making the liquid more concentrated.

Mead from last summer?

How did it turn out?

If you freeze distill it use a big sieve, save wahat you want that way.

yeah, the stuff you helped me make.
I've sort of forgotten, so, it's been in the container, under pressure, ever since.
I'm hoping it mellowed.
but, thought "meadsicles" would be a kick.

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Fri May 20, 2011 9:47 am

Ygmir, I tried this with Chaucer's, which is sweet. I think that the high sugar interfered with the experiment, and it was slushy and the liquid that I seived out was very sweet.
Do you have a dry mead? You might want to try with that. Before the weather warms up.
