Sinecure Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ha! My housemate is a Pirate on occasion. Freakin' hilarious. Plus he wears a kilt and does swordfighting at Renaissance Faires. His room is quite a place. On the side he creates an online comic strip. Quite the interesting guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skatha Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have a batch in the Carboy now which should be ready for bottling in May I was big into mead a few years ago, refresh my interest and detail your recipe and fermentation methods.......

Gecko Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I was big into mead a few years ago, refresh my interest and detail your recipe and fermentation methods....... I forment mead about the same as I did beer only simpler My favorite recipe is 3lbs of honey boiled down 1/3rd in 20qts of water with 2-3 vanilla beans (scraped out) once cool I decant to a 5 gallon water jug top off spring water and add a packet of Champagne yeast and cork with a bubbler. After 4-6 weeks I bottle (corked wine bottles) and rest it for 3-4 months minimum. Depending on the honey I've had Mead from wine strength to schapps strength. Other flavor additives that I've had luck with are Orange, lime and cacao. Choice of Honey makes a huge difference stay away anything jarred, canned, or otherwise prepackaged. I buy honey from places like health food stores, CO-OP's or Wholefoods. I'm really looking forward to trying the local honey this summer/fall to brew a few batchs.

tex1230 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Pirates and Rap stars are basically the same Just replace Yo, Ho! with Yo ho ho Waering a ton of gold jewelry... and remember that pirates must be careful grabbing their crotch in case they have a hook....

Gleb Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 we all know that rappers, and everyone trying to be like rappers, grab their crotches to see if their balls have grown in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik J Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'd be afraid of talking like a pirate for fear of getting a nun chuk to the back of the head. When a zoo wants a lion they tell a ninja to go get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 That's because Ninjas are totally sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Phil...you forgot rule #1 - never talk about ninjas I'd grow eyes in the back of your head if I were you...they're coming to get you now... oops - I just talked about them too...I'm in serious trouble now....
