Ello, just as a try I made a 1gallon batch of mead, Because I read it was super simple. 4 weeks later it’s finished. Still "green” but absolutely delicious once it hit 1.006 gravity and settled down around 2 weeks after bottling.
Bought a second 1 gal frementer. Currently making a rhotomel and trying a sorrel wine.
Still a little confused when reading beer instructions. So let me confirm please
-grains = sugar food for yeast.
-hops= just make the beer less sweet and add some flavoring things
What I don’t get:
What is the function of malt over just grains ground or cracked?
So, is there something preventing me from using the barley grain from the grocery store in the 2lb bags?
Recommendations?:
Good place to order hops online as there are no brewing stores near me currently?
Basic hop species that works with most types of beers?
