    Home made Brew (Mead)

    I started my first 2 batches of Mead. Simple start:

    1st batch

    Used 2.51lbs of honey
    14 raisins
    1 Package Lalvin EC-1118

    2nd Batch

    Used 2.62lbs of honey
    14 raisins
    1 Package Lalvin EC-1118
    1 Clove
    1 Cinnamon Stick

    Log
    Dec 1 Marked both with contents and start date
    Dec 2 Both are bubbling about 1 time every 9 seconds
    Dec 8 Topped off both air locks with a little bit of water

    If you want details on how I set up the (2) 1 Gallon jugs just ask and I will fill you in.
    The tallest oak in the forest was once just a nut who held its ground.

    I plan to start brewing my own beer, once we get moved and settled in. Going to work towards Belgian doubles and tripel.

    OK, you got my curiosity up. I'm anxious to see how this comes out. Guess I'll have to build a still, a brew haus and a shitload of other things on the new place to? Fuck I'm going to busy, but if I get that done I can get drunk and busy all at the same time........"safety third!"

    What's this "safety" thing you mention?

    Gotta give the med guys practice, too.

    So Vodin, how did the Mead turn out? Inquiring minds want to know...

    For someday sons and daughters

    I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
