What are you brewing?

Easter is in few weeks maybe you have some special beer prepared or just your normal #homebrewing experiments. Let's share what is fermenting, some good tasting #beer you made, something that didn't end up how you liked, happy little accidents that ended up well... Just everything homebrewing, #wine making, #cider , #mead ...

I used to make these posts once per month but didn't make them for about a year, let me know if I should start again with them.

I have just finished a small batch of rhubarb mead - my first time using rhubarb for brewing. turned out well, but a little cloudy.

I have ~30L of Luisa mead, this had just a hint of Luisa, and on early tasting is going to be very nice

Little cloudy is good. Today brew was cloudy a lot. We used some flocculant for the last 10 min of boil but it didn't help that much, it helped a bit but not enough.

The photo in the post is from this brew and because of the cloudy residue it foamed a lot. So yeah I get that cloudiness is sometimes bit of nuance but the difference is "I don't like how it looks in glass" and "it makes a lot of mess and I don't know how to keep it in the pot".

Good luck on your mead I hope it turns out well and only problem will be the cloudiness.
