Notes: 10/16 - created yeast starter: 1/2 C DME in 2 C water; boil 10 minutes. Cool to 70 deg F, then pitch yeast.

10/18
- Steep grains for 45 minutes in 1.25 gallons of 165 deg F water (in brew kettle).
- Rinse with .5 gal of cold water
- Add malts, initial hops
- Boil, adding flavor ingredients per schedule
- After 60 minutes, cool in an ice bath, then add to cold water, bringing total volume to 5.5 gal. OG = 1.075@75 deg F - approx 1.08 @ 60F.
- Taste is sweet/malty, with spice and orange notes. Very nice.
- pitch yeast starter.

11/8 Racked to secondary fermenters. SG=1.02 @ 74deg F - approx 1.025 @ 60degF. Taste very nice.
11/22 Bottled. SG = 1.02 Taste is good.

I would cut the honey down to 0.5 lbs the next time. Maybe also reduce some malt. Also consider delaying malt additions to keep the color lighter (this is dark like a porter).

12/23 - not carbonating. Added yeast slurry to remaining bottles

Notes: Create a yeast starter with 1 C. orange juice, 1 tspn Yeast Nutrient, and Yeast in a mason jar. Let sit for 3-5 hours before brewing.

Crash the brew with 1/2 tspn per gallon of Potassium Sorbate after 7-10 days in fermentation, around when the OG reaches 1.020. Then, let sit for the rest of a full month to absorb the spices before racking to secondary. You can also pitch the spices in secondary instead, and rack immediately to secondary at 7 days.

On secondary, boil the the extra sugars for 15 minutes in a liter of water in a small sauce pot, siphoning off any nastiness. Pitch in, and give the mead a gentle stir for 30 seconds. This must be done *after* the Potassium Sorbate has been pitched and integrated well to crash the fermentation.

Be sparring with the orange juice. It tends to overwhelm the subtlety of the spices if too much is used, even by a half-cup. It adds a necessary acidic-sweetness to the mead to blend out the stark dryness of the spices against the earthy sweetness of the mead.

I tend to use a forest honey for a more mature vegetable sweetness, but summer bloom or clover works just as well.

Let sit on Secondary for 2-3 months. Continue to rack to desired clarity. Best if brewed in December and given at least 2 months to rest in a bottle.

Notes: Trying out a Barley Based Lager.

Interesting taste. Next time try less Barley.
Barle from .5lb -> .25
Caramel 120L from .5Lb ->.75
Switch LME from Pilsen to Munich.
