It's a very temperamental bacteria

Not as lenient as yeast

@Fitzydog i guess you could say barley wine, though technically again it's still a beer. though it would be stronger than normal barley wine, around 18% abv. dunno where you got honey infused from

Can't wait to try to make a mead again. Last time it didn't work out so well and I ended up with sweet vinegar

did you use an airlock

Nah, did some ghetto shit with a plastic water jug and balloons.

Got a proper carboy and airlock this time.

hehe sheiit i've got a balloon on one of mine atm

Don't think I had enough positive pressure

Skunked the batch

hope that doesn't happen to mine

How long do you usually let it ferment for?

depends mainly how much sugar there is

this batch has been going for about a month, has maybe a week or two more to go i think

should be 10-11%

Ah, I pulled early at 3 weeks

Still, first time is a learning experience

ideally i want it to be fully finished, so that i know it won't overcarb with the priming sugar

Ah, I didn't bother with priming sugar, just 3lb of raw honey

so it was flat?

Yeah

fair enough

lmao

haven't seen this one before

real talk, how was the turtle flying?

sounds like it was hit by a car and sent flying

getting thrown from a car tends to send shit flying

because it's your arm strength + the speed of the car

no it was it the road

and got run over

which sent if flying

you're just talking about mario cart aren't you
