What did you use to get the chocolate flavor? Chocolate extract? Beans? Though i would think the beans would be hard to find if they work for that .... BV...
Ewww. if you use cocoa, dont use dutch proccess. all the good stuff, psychoactive wise, has been removed. and theres very little cocoa butter to begin with,...
ghiradellis dark chocolate chips. Actually, it was an experiment in a quicker liquid panty remover. Since most of the psychoacctives in chocholate are organic...
If you want to save yourself some time and effort, they already make a extract of the actives of cocoa, called Chocamine. Its pretty cheap (and potent) stuff....
sure, someone beat me too it. damnit. hmm, looking at the info online, they may be missing a few parts though. let me double check my ingrediants research...
Hey group, Our local SCA group, The Barony of Marcaster has some weekend outings planned, and I am new to the SCA. However I am not new to brewing. I have been...
Yes, obtaining a suitable hogshead might be a bit of a challenge...(grin...) Or at least a rainbarrel... I jest because I was contemplating the very same...
Oh Isabel, That would be great, as I would like to learn brewing! I have recently purchase a book on mead making, but i'm more of a "hands on" type person........
Greetings, Gavin! I would say stick to modern basics and discuss what might be different, that you know of. If you normally brew extract, brew that way; if you...

I concur with Declan MacDockery. For our camping demos, we used modern equipment including running the wort through a copper coil immersed in an ice bath in...
We will be doing an all grain brew over an open fire at Border Skirmish just outside Chicago in June. We will be using a cast iron kettle. One of the things we...
I've been making mead for about a year and have come to a place where I need more info on s/g. I made a simple mead in Sept, 07 and used it as a base for a...
... It was 1.020 before or after you added the berries? You'll need to know both the before and after addition numbers for your initial and final gravity...
Kind Sir, thank you for responding to my problem. The 1.020 s/g was before I added the berries. The yeast was Red Star Cote des Blanks, which, if I'm not...
Well, it's been my understanding that by using initial to before addition and after addition to terminal is far from exact for determining your alcohol content...
I found this on another list I am on. I hope this helps. ESTIMATED YIELDS (IN SPECIFIC GRAVITY POINTS) Based on 1 lb of material in 1 gallon water, from Miller...
While I do record my SG when I make mead, I also tend to ingore it. Using a triple scale hydrometer, you can measure SG, Brix, and Potential Alcohol. There...
Errm... unless you do something (tablets, flash heating) to kill the yeast yourself, you wont have any sugar left until after you get to the yeasts ...
My Lord Bhaird, Thank you for your prompt reply. One problem with new mazers (sp?) is terminology. I don't know what FG and OG or ABV are. I didn't know about...
Now I believe I am totaly confused. I thought SG was how you determined how sweet your mead would be. What is PA and BRIX? If you are making mead, what is...
Hmmm, hie thee off to the interweb for a brewing for beginners guide! fg is final gravity (the specific gravity when you are done) og is original gravity (the...
Sorry to have confused you. Specific Gravity tells you how much sugar is disolved in the must. The more sugar then either the more alcohol you will make or...
are there better ways than density of telling, btw? THe only other decent way i know of telling how much ethanol is in a solution involves acid, an indicator,...
... As someone already mentioned, FG = final gravity, the specific gravity when it's all done. Also known as terminal gravity (TG). OG is your original...
... Yes. Use a refractometer. It measures the refraction of light through the must. It uses density to be sure, but the technique is, I believe, more sound....
