Meadowsweet Mead Finishing. Now we rack, adjust and bottle this mead. It's unusual, has lots of grassy notes, and so far, we're not hating it, but not loving it. So? What will we do with this mead? Is it a keeper? Is it a mixer? How to finish and bottle a meadowsweet mead, or what we did with our meadowsweet mead!

Today's Brewtalk is all about the stages or steps in homebrewing. Whether you're making beer, wine, cider or mead, much of the same steps are involved. You'd be amazed how many questions we get on this topic! This should be the first video any new brewer should watch. We try to keep it simple and explain the process of brewing and the steps needed.

Herculometer VS Hydrometer - Harder to Break, but... Accurate for Mead, Wine and Cider? The Herculometer is a plastic hydrometer. I've been told by many about how inaccurate they are. While ultimate accuracy isn't that critical in homebrewing, I was hearing the Herculometer hydrometer could be ten, eve twenty points away from a typical glass hydrpoeter! Accurate is one thing, but... twenty points? Way too much. So, let's put it to the test.

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.

Pear Cider, how to make an easy perry at home. Perry is cider made from pears instead of apples. We used whole fruit that we juiced for part of this, but also used pear juice since juicing fruit is really more work than it's worth UNLESS you have a very large, very abundant source of fresh pears. If you have that... by all means, juice your fruit to make pear cider! Great perry isn't difficult, and if you have that kind of access to pears, perry is something you should try!
Ingredients:
5lbs Bosc Pears

Brew Talk - Racking, Secondary Fermentation - When Should You Rack?
Many people are racking too early. There, I said it. There is no rush to rack to secondary! If you rack your brew too early, you risk destroying the yeast colony and a stuck fermentation. If having your wine, cider, beer or mead a few days or a week or two sooner is that important... rethink that! Time is your friend. Trust us, nothing bad will happen if you let your brew sit for... a month. Nothing. If anything, it will improve!
So, next time you think you should rack your mead, wine, or cider or even beer, think again, maybe take a reading. A little science, even though we do things simply and naturally, is a good thing!

How to Make your First Mead - The Tasting! Honestly this mead is about as easy as they come to make. It's a simple traditional mead, but is much more complex and deep than it's simple beginnings would suggest. Today we taste our "First Mead" and give our thoughts on it. Fun fact: This mead was made with Bread Yeast!
If you didn't see the videos on how to make this traditional mead, here's the links to the videos:
