What store is there in BR?
The store hasn't opened yet; the store name is LA Homebrew (lahomebrew.com). They are still in process of setting up all their vendor accounts and website. It will be a full service shop with over 100 types of grain and fresh liquid yeast and hops.
I'll get you guys more info when it comes my way.

Please do... I stopped my commute to Nola here recently so I won't be making my trips to Brewstock as much anymore.

Anyone here make some mead before? I've brewed but never made mead. I'm thinking about doing a muscadine mead. Any advice?

Chico from Redstick Brewmasters is the one opening the store... We will be at Avenue Pub on Saturday Morning for Zwanze. He can give you all the details then if you are going.

The store/warehouse will be located of Pecue and Airline across from woman's hospital. I know he's planning on reaching out to you and some of the other local beer bloggers/clubs once he had stock in and the website up. You can always contact him directly at keith at lahomebrew.com.

My advice is to be patient and rack often, especially early in the process.
Too long on the trub will give some off flavors.

I make a batch of mead every year. Your worst enemy is yourself. Takes a year at minimum. You can drink it before then, but you'll be rewarded if you wait.
A trick I've learned from making wine and mead: to get the honey dissolved without heat, hook up a bottling wand to your drill and stir the shite out of it. Helps with oxygen too. Double pitch your dry yeast and add in nutrients. As it slows you might have to give it a swirl or two. A low dose of medium oak cubes during primary adds a nice touch. Don't use chips.

This seems to be the key for moonlight meadery. Sounds like they regularly dose it with nutrients.

Figured s14 would be thrilled about this location. If they have fresh liquid yeast, I'll go there since Cuban doesn't carry that. But I work literally 3 minutes from Cuban and pop in quite a bit since it's easy for me. This location will be tougher for me to get to.

Yeah, Cuban is under a mile from home, so I'll still go there more often than not, but liquid yeast would be nice.

By the way, back to my oatmeal stout woes.
Do y'all think rice hulls would help it keeping from getting a stuck mash? What about maybe a mesh bag as a liner?

I tend to use rice hulls any time I have a mash with oats or wheat. They are probably not necessary when it's only a small %, but rice hulls are cheap and stuck mashes drive me crazy.

how do you use them? do you just mash with the grains? I've heard it's a good idea to soak them first.

If I ever mash with sweet potatoes again I'm going to put them in a mesh bag.
