I've officially used all the honey in the house, but as soon as I get stocked back up again I'll be making t'ej. And I can't wait. We've had several Ethiopian dishes over the past couple of weeks and I can't wait to have a beverage to pair with them. Now I've just got to figure out if I...

Yes, thank you. I went back and edited it.

I've been sitting here making a list of my homebrewing goals for 2017 and I thought I would share them with you guys here. And then I'll periodically update this thread as I (hopefully) tick each item off the list. Feel free to add suggestions or your own 2017 goals list as I would love to see...

SG down to 1.01 so I racked this last night and added the can of blood orange puree. That stuff smells vile. Almost like some kind of canned tomato. It tasted fine though and since I'll be adding some orange water I'm hoping the smell eventually dissipates.

Still a couple more days to get on December's thread if you guys are interested. I'll be starting another thread for January this weekend.

I ordered it on Monday. It arrived today! I should have planned a little better because I really don't have anything to put in it right this second!

Princess Leia was my first hero. Carrie Fisher's passing is unbelievably sad to me. She was so young.

Every Christmas, my parents give us a little bit of cash in addition to a few small presents. This year they gave us a little extra and wanted us to buy something for both of us that we normally wouldn't. We have been talking about buying a couple of barrels, one for ageing mead and a smaller...

I got Manthing something from there for one of his Christmas items. It was a hot sauce making kit that contains puree from 3 different kinds of peppers, one of which is Carolina Reaper. He's looking forward to burning off all his taste buds.

Here we go. Yesterday, thawed 3 frozen bananas and rough chopped them. Then added to boiling water and let them boil for about 20 minutes. After cooling, I added to my primary. Added between 9-10 lbs orange blossom honey. SG @ 1.084 Water to just over 3 gallons. 2 tsp of pectic enzyme. This...

It should be fine for at least a month. Unless it drops an insane amount of lees I'm guessing you can get away with not racking again for a couple, three months. Don't want to rack too much anyway, you'll miss all the flavor.

Funny that this should pop up today. I asked this question in another forum and as a result, ended up buying a variety pack from here: http://www.blackswanbarrels.com/honey-comb-barrel-alternative/ I also got this stuff for a tequila lime mead I'm planning...
