Small Beer - Partigyle Beer!- Use up Those Leftover Grains! Beer used to be made partigyle style, where two to three different and ever descreasing ABV beers were made from one grain bill. We made our barley wine and decided to do a second running, or small beer, or partigyle beer from the leftover mash.

How to make Mead. The Caramel Apple Bochet. Bit more going on in this mead than usual. We have caramelized honey, regular honey, cooked apples, and spices! A bochet is a cooked honey mead. so this qualifies. Then we have the Cyser portion, which is an apple mead, so this mead can have a really really long name. We decided Caramel Apple Bochet worked best for this mead though.
Ingredients:
1 lb cooked Wildflower Honey: https://amzn.to/32F7Y8i
1 lb Wildflower Honey
12 roasted Fuji Apples
1 clove
1 cinnamon stick
3 All Spice Berries
1/2 gallon Apple Juice

How to Make Beer - Brewer's Best Dunkleweizen Kit Beer Review. I'm not a beer kit kinda guy. I much prefer all grain brewing, but I know not everyone feels the same. So, we got a kit of a Dark Wheat Beer, a Dunkleweizen from Brewer's Best and decided to give it a try. Now, if you're new to beer brewing, I highly suggest watching this video, as I explain a lot of the procedures that the instructions in the kit left out. To me, a kit is nice if you've never brewed before, but after that... following a beer recipe and using all grain methods is cheaper and in my opinion, makes a better beer.

Nettle Mead would be a metheglin technically which simply means "medicine". Today we finish our nettle mead, rack it, and bottle it for storage. Of course we taste some mead too.
Nettles have been used for centuries in wines and meads. Their healthy properties are conveyed to us through alcohol, as a lot of older medicines were alcohol based. I mean, if you have to take medicine, may as well get some alcohol too, right?
Mead is a drink made in the home for thousands of years. Nettles are common everywhere. Put them together and you have the perfect City Steading blend of beverage. It's a simple process, anyone can do it and it's inexpensive. Oh, and nettle mead is GOOD for you! (well, it does have alcohol, but even that in moderation is good for you).

Banana Wine Racking time. That pretty much says it all. We know this is a long time coming, but, well, we've been really busy and it doesn't harm your wine to let it sit a while. We do prove a few things in this video, one, yeast can't read, two, everyone loves bananas. Even yeast.
Racking is the act of moving your wine from one vessel to another, normally to remove the yeast cake or lees at the bottom of the fermenter. There is no rush to do this, nor is there any harm in waiting. This one has been sitting for four months on the lees. The best rule about making wine, cider and mead is to not worry. Time heals all brews.
So today we rack this wine, taste it, not once, but twice, and if you watch the video, you see why.
