Re: Anyone Interested in a Brutus Stand?

Why should we give you a reward? Look at Brad, we don't give him anything to be good!

Why can't you just be like Brad and be good for nothing! :lol:

Re: Mazer Cup International 2010 - Mead Only Competition

Very cool Oskaar, I'm glad the event went so well. I have to say that I think anything paired with Swiss dark-chocolate covered, apple-wood smoked bacon seems to have an unfair advantage though. :) Totally true dude! Although my vote had to go to the cream cheese stuffed figs wrapped in prosciutto ...

Re: Mazer Cup International 2010 - Mead Only Competition

I've given Kevin and John their scores, and they both did very well. Both of their meads made it to the medal round and were in pretty hot contention for those top spots. We had a great event this year with over 450 entries, and about 400 actual entries to judge. Attrition due to no-shows, non-shipp...

Re: March Meeting Tuesday 3/16/10 @ Oggi's in Tustin

Well, it keeps the yeast healthier, and unhealthy or insufficient yeast is one cause of a high FG. Right. When your yeast are struggling for O2 (see my recent post in the mead thread) you'll have a ferment that is more prone to stop before the yeast fully attenuates. and takes your wort to the desi...

Re: Mead Honey Question

I'll add this too: What ever you do, do NOTtry and 'save' money on honey. Buy from someplace like Millers that is consistent and fair priced. If you only want to spend $30-$40 on honey for a batch, then only make 2-3 gallons of mead and not 5. Never buy grocery store honey which is often cut with c...
