I actually bought my first homebrew setup over 20 years ago, made a couple batches of beer then moved out of my parents house. Not having moved my equipment I went a few years before picking up again and making a couple more batches before multiple moves put brewing on the back burner again.
About 3 years ago I picked up a BrewDemon conical and made a braggot with some honey that I found packed up from the move into our current home.
I decided that the 2-2.5 gallon batch was perfect size for me and sold my 5 and 6 gallon carboys and picked up a couple more Brew Demons.
I recently Picked up equipment to move out of the Kitchen and do BIAB but haven't filled my propane tank yet so havent done an AG BIAB yet.
Here is what I have done in the BrewDemon conicals
1. Irish Stout Style Braggot
-Fantastic brew tasted very smooth with IMHO a perfect balance of maltiness and hop bitterness/flavor with a fantastic honey aftertaste
2. Another Irish Stout Stlye Braggot
-Not as good as the first but has the same balance as the first but the honey aftertaste isn't there
3. Mixed Berry Melomel
-Tossed had a very overpowering metallic taste to it even after racking twice and aging in the fermenter for over 6 months
4. Hefewiezen
-This was an extract with some steeping grains. used weinhestafen(sp?) yeast. turned out good I didn't get the banana that I was looking for but not that big of a deal.
5. BrewDemon Raspberry Hard Cider
-I subbed honey for the table sugar and this turned out great, is the second brew that I have run out of after my first braggot.
6. A Chocolate Coffee Dark Ale
-Extract with steeping Grains. Turned out really good although I think I should have used more cocoa nibs.
7. Blood orange Mead
-Juiced and zested 4 Blood Oranges for this one, Have racked it to secondary but it is still slowly bubbling away, Might be ready to bottle by July.
8. BrewDemon American Prophecy Ale
-added some Crystal steeping Grains. In the bottles aging now tasted good going into the bottles.
9. BrewDemon Blackberry Hard Cider
-Experimented on this one with using a can of FAJC instead of sugar and adding about an extra 8oz of frozen Blackberries. Currently in the primary.
