I racked this yesterday. SG is down to 1.014. I had a little over so I put it in a half gallon mason jar, along with the rest of the undiluted juice and a few more dried jujubes. I have a fermentation lid so I put that on it. I think it will do fine since it has a fairly active...

Any suggestions?

I still think the worst is when you are dinking around and you hear the tell tale snap noise of a glass carboy breaking.

No and no. I went all over town and I'm unable to find any unpasteurized milk. I'm part of a backyard farmer's group on FB and they do have a milk run that they do every couple of months where I could get some. But I forgot about the last one and a couple of them ended up getting...

How much hops did you use? I'm not much of a hops fan, but Manthing is and I keep wanting to make him some kind of hopped mead. These sound pretty good!

It's usually about a 1/2 tsp per gallon.

Ok, 6.25 lbs of jujube bits, boiled in water for about an hour, then cooled. Jujube juice added, then honey added to SG 1.10. QA23 yeast pitched. I completely forgot pectic enzyme, but I will add that later, as well as some bentonite on day 3.

Everything looks good, but you should also add some pectic enzyme in there. Hibiscus definitely needs it. I see you already make the tea. It's fantastic, isn't it? You will find that adding some hibiscus to some of your other wine blends can be awesome as well. I made a version of...

I've thawed everything out and will be putting this together once I get home from work. I can't decide if I'm going for a 3 gallon or 5 gallon batch. So far, my plan is to take the thawed fruit bits and boil/simmer in about 2 gallons of water for a half hour, then strain and pour into...

A small amount of chamomile in an apple wine, along with some spices, is also utterly fantastic.

I will check those out. Is it 4 oz gesho per 1 gallon? eta: Nevermind, found it!

I've been wanting to make this but I have no idea where to find gesho. I'll definitely be following this one. What are your thoughts on how T'ej tastes?

Ah, I'm with you now. Well, my original suggestion still stands then!

Huh, I had no idea you could freeze it and save any of the yeast. Sounds really interesting! I've been wanting to try a dried elderberry and rose petal mead. What do you think that would taste like?
