So I am drinking a glass of the apple cider with extra sugar added, and it is delicious. Followed the instructions, poured a cup of juice out of the bottle, added a cup of sugar, added yeast and shook it all up. Then let it ferment in a cupboard for 3 days, and put in the fridge for a day...

Ah sweet, thanks mate!! That makes a lot of sense actually. I'll do a search through the forum and find some info.

I have a quick question in regards to the above post. In the picture it appears you have used cling wrap as the "lid" for your juice bottles. How does this work, and what is the correct way to do it? I have 2 supermarket juices fermenting in the cupboard at the moment using OZtops. Can't wait...

After reading this thread start to finish, twice now, I am really keen to try this!! Really keen. I understand a bit more about it now. I have a question about this FridgeMate thing you speak of. What is involved in setting one of these up? I live in Toowoomba and at the moment the temperature...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, basic Mead is made from just honey, water, and yeast. It is called honey wine because of the process of making it, or so I'm told, but it isn't really a wine. Thanks for explaining the gravity stuff, knowing that will come in handy!

How is this going mate? I am just get interested in making Mead, and just read a thread about a red wine substitute that my girlfriend liked the sound of, so this had got my interest also. Bren

Hey everyone I am new to brewing and found this forum. When I say new to brewing, I should say I actually haven't even tried yet :P I want to have a go at brewing my own Mead though. Just looking for any advice, or maybe an easy recipe. I saw the JAO one which looks good, but I think for my...
