July 7 it will be according to plan

Yesterday bottled my rye stout and transferred the smoked collaboration tea black ale to secondary fermentation

 

[Belgar]

Been drinking the hell out of the black tea. I keep thinking of the Aecht without the alcohol.

Keep me posted on our collab progress.

 

[gnoff]

will do!

hahaha, my beer mentor just asked me in an email:

If you got a free bucket of honey, what would you do with it?
Make beer stronger, make tasty sweet honey mead, or sour yucky mead?

 

[Belgar]

I'd call for a honey smoked porter, but I reckon mead would be sound good as well.

Btw, the honey I got at the local market in Göt is phenomenal.

He hates my super dry mead, haha

He probably wants me to brew a super sweet mead, like the ones he makes

I might just do that, since it might get me a big old bucket of free honey

Sitting at home waiting for me brewing supplies to arrive by delivery company.

Looking to brew a mead next weekend and a beer weekend after that.

Plan if I can fit it all in to my schedule with trips and shows are 3 meads and 6 beers before x-mas

Oh he did give me 13 kg of honey, ane my other mates 10 kg + 9 kg respectively.

He'll be getting super dry meads for it, hahaha

Shared a collab beer with my brother last night, very nice indeed

How are the bottles you got tasting?

 

[Belgar]

I have not opened them yet. I am waiting on my brother to come at the end of the month.

 

[gnoff]

[gnoff]

I might have a plan that works!

23/9: Mead 6, sloe berries
30/9: Beer 96, Best Bitter
20/10: Beer 97, English Pale Ale
21/10: Mead 7, red currants

11/11: Beer 99, Chili Porter
17/11: Beer 100, Smoked Porter

Mead 8, rhubarbs, will happen depending on when mead 7 is done with primary fermentation

Just recently got into Mead making. I have 6 gallons of Orange Melomel mead (Joes Ancient Orange Mead) with 3 gallons almost ready to bottle.

 

[gnoff]

Nice, let us know how it turns out!

 

[ErichW]

I shall indeed. Ive actually made this before but trying to perfect it now. Not so much the recipie by my ability to follow it and make something good tasting. The ones ive made before werent bad at all.
