Erisian Brewer's Cadre. Or: How I saw the Goddess in the first place

The pasteurization process tends to ruin the prospect of a decent fermentation. Not saying that it WON'T ferment, mind you, considering you put lots of sugars in there, but results could be interesting to say the least. I'd check on it in 2 weeks. If there's sedimentation on the bottom, siphon it into a new bottle then.


My mead is now fridged to put the yeasties to sleeps. Here's hopin' for something tasty in 3 weeks.

Cool, all good info.  The yeast has been pretty active for the past couple days.  It's very cloudy, and the balloon I'm using as an airlock is standing steadily at attention.  I'll let you you know how it is in a couple weeks.

A timetable for those interested in honey:  This morning he told me he was extracting on Wednesday.  Once he gets some jars, he'll give me however many I need to send off.

Pricing, he clarified that he's asking $7 for a 1lb jar.  I believe he said he'd ask $12 for a 2lb jar, and I don't remember if he said anything about half pounds.

I was throwing the info in here because it was thread relevant, but since there seems to be a fair amount of interest I'll cross post it in Apple Talk.

Win!

If you can get it to me before I head to Florida, I may be able to fly with Squid's order and save her some postage.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

cha-ching!

TOO LATE.

Squid's honey is being shipped by the bees themselves.  I've set up a vapor screen superhighway to direct them to Florida.  They have been trained to form a beard structure on her face and then vomit the honey all at once.  They were promised a freshly planted clover patch if they stung over 100 Floridians while they were down there.

Richter's honey delivery by trebuchet has been scrapped in favor of a ballista.

Jenne's is receiving the honey from EoC's Delivery Service.  It'll cost approximately $500 for the round trip flight to San Diego, plus a couch to crash on.  Food is optional but pleasantly welcome.

Oh good, ballistas have better aim. Now I don't have to worry.

...still, the prospect of the West End/South Providence getting coated in honey is HYSTERICAL...as long as it jams all the guns.

Oh What the FUCK.

I didn't even order yet!  And this is maple syrup!  What the hell are you pulling?  Yes, I know it's you, because I refuse to beleive anyone else would call my cell phone, and scream "ODIN!"  in a canadian accent jsut as the first bottle sails into the lot outside.  Now I don't know your relative distance, but you fell kind of short.  Dani from the Indian joint next door ate the bottle to the face, but it was right on trajectory for my window.

Dani's OK, by the way.  He was hardened to these horrors growing up in Punjab.  He swears the burning crotch of Shiva upon thee in retribution, by the way.

FUCK YEAH CLOVER HUNGRY ANGRY BEE BEARD FTW!!

My friends will be soooo fucking jealous.

That wasn't EoC. That was members of the Fall River contingent getting you back for the stunt you pulled in June that involved the the tub of lard from Price Rite and that six pack of Stella Artois.

[Richter]

They all loved it at the time.  Freaking kids.  They'll laugh and approve of the whole thing, but then bitch later when they realize all their self respect is gone.

In the immortal words of GS: "What's he doing? Oh god...HE'S GETTING A BEER!!!!!"

[Jenne]

Jenne, I think I've shipped one item in my life, so if you have any secrets of a practical postage, I'll do whatever you prefer.

Well, bubble wrap is an option--failing that, those plastic shopping bags they give you at the store--I've used those as a "free" wrapping solution...I'll repay or prepay you for postage, of course!  ETA:  I'll take the $12 jar, please!

[Choptop]

I siphoned out a couple small sips of my makeshift cyser to see what's going on in there.  It's highly fizzy, still tastes somewhat like apples, and has enough alcohol to faintly burn the back of my throat... or maybe that's some sort of necrosis or "Draino Effect"...

[Richter]

That sounds like success to me!
