Same ingredients as bread - devastatingly better results.

I'm thinking about going BIAB with an electrical set up of some sort, so I can do it in my kitchen. Ol Man Dick over here doesn't feel like sweating it out outside. Fortunately a lot of my 20 year old equipment is still functional and applicable (mainly my kegging gear).

Gear. Recipes. Technique. Whatcha got?

Edited to add: from here out Hexbear Homebrewers will be known as The HBHBs.

      hell yeah, mead is the laziest fermentation and that's why I love it. For a while there I was using 1 gallon jugs just lined up on a shelf, with staggered starts. When you polish off the one at the front of the line, clean out the jug, move it to the end of the shelf, pour in the ingredients and put on an airlock.

      I have some retired 6 gal carboys and all the mead talk in this thread had me thinking I'm going to make some on the side.
