/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Can this be a homebrewer's general thread? My wife and I just bottled our 5 gallon carboy of cider, yielded 28 22oz bottles and two regular beer bottles. Tomorrow going to start a fresh batch in the carboy we just emptied and bottle the second one. They have been going since July 1st and will be ready to drink in a few weeks.

Planning on picking up a six gallon carboy on monday and starting a batch of mead, I made a gallon sized batch of apple cider using wildflower honey from the local brew shop up here in Anchorage, thinking it will make a great base for mead.
