2023 Southern California Homewbrew Festival May 5,6
Greetings all! Spring is finally here and SCHF is right around the corner! This is an amazing weekend, and something you should at least look into! For 2023, they are returning to Vail Lake Resort near Temecula. Some folks camp, some drive in, some stay local. Friday night is commercial brewers pour...

Re: 2023 National Homebrew Competition
I've been thinking about it, but right now I only have a mead that is fermenting. I'll have to see if I can set aside some of my SCHF server brew for some bottles... It all comes down to timing, but I'd like to get something in there!

Re: Honey supplier
I'm going to stick to what worked before.. namely, Oskaar's mead making instructions from 2010 Club Mead Brew Day. I'm doing this first one on a smaller scale (2.5gal) so I can remember all the stuff I forgot. :crazy: So far, only minor missteps, but I got it fermenting in my closet as we speak! So ...

Honey supplier
Hey all, I'm going to be getting back to some mead making this year. I really enjoyed sharing my last few bottles with the club, and I'm all out! I ordered a 10# bucket of blueberry honey from Crystal's Honey, and their free shipping had it here within 10 days. Tomorrow, I'll use it for a 2 gallon b...

Re: Style Presentation for the July Meeting
Well, I brewed an English Dark Mild for the last meeting, and it ended up being on a night I could not make. (however, I managed to bring it to SCHF!) Good news, is that it is also a clone of Black Tusk Ale from Whistler Brewing Company in Canada. Ignore the BA rating, as it is a real nice beer, and...

Re: Anyone have a wort chiller I can borrow this weekend?
Hey Romen, Sorry to have missed your post. Did you end up brewing on Father's Day? Curious if you found a chiller, or improvised something for the day. When I used to do 2.5 gallon extract boils, I could just put my boil pot in the sink full of water and stir. Much faster when you have a wort chille...

Hey Sean,
Sorry that I missed your message prior to the fest! I remember seeing you at the Quaff booth, and I knew you looked familiar, but I didn't connect it all. (It was a good beer day, no?)
Hope to see you soon at another event or something!

Re: May Club Meeting- Pub Ale Style Presentation
I have a Dark Mild recipe that I like, so if I can get my act together for this, perhaps I will do a partial mash extract version of 5 gallons. I'll have to check my schedule...

Re: Mead Day - Honey Group Buy
Can do 1 or 3 gal. -Calvin Certainly, you can do any size you prefer. However, it is just as much work for 1 gal, 3 gal or 5 gal. Perhaps you can ferment 3 gal, and then rack to 3 one-gallon jugs, and spice one, fruit the other, and keep one straight mead. Its all up to you! There is no boiling, so...

Re: Mead Day - Honey Group Buy
I'm happy to try and pass along some of the advice I received from many of our great mead-makers here in the club. I had been unsuccessfully making mead on my own for a few years, and when I joined Brewcommune, I met Oskaar (Pete), Lars & Jward right away, and learned so much from them and other...
