Mead is cheap, delicious, and super alcoholic. I make a malomel that's 19%abv. Lavalin 1118 is the yeast i would recommend.

Does the kit include a tasting stick? Every modern rogue needs one
Nope. Shes getting warm pbr.
Too much clove will make it taste like honey dipped potpourri. I've found that 2 whole, dried cloves in a 5 gal carboy is perfect - it's there but not over-powering.
Bar owner: What are your qualifications for our bartender position?
Me: I have consumed all of the base properties of mead.
i am the 300th like on this
its not important but im proud of it
I love you son/daughter. And I’m proud of you. Let’s go get ice cream.

YOU HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES ABOUT SKYRIM AND HER PEOPLE! WHAT SAY YOU IN YOUR DEFENCE?
I say that it's "against" Skyrim and her people. What say YOU in YOUR defense? Impersonating a guard is punishable by imprisonment and depending on the intent even by death.
Okay, so... 2 1/2 years ago I watched this video. It came out 4 days before my 18th birthday(which here in The Great White North is the legal drinking age). I was so fascinated by how easy it was to make homemade alcohol that I was sold. So on March 13th 2018 exactly, I made my first batch of Mead. I have never tasted it, and haven’t broken the seal that I kept them in to age for 2 1/2 years. This weekend I’ll be doing it tho and finally bottling them. When I tested the alcoholic volume when I first transferred it into a better keg I measured it at 14% 😅 a little stronger than I thought, but hey it worked! Anyways, just wanted to share that someone out there actually followed your instructions and successfully made a batch of mead and am pretty hooked on the art of honey wine brewing. Thanks Guys for the many years of entertainment and knowledge. It’s been like 4-5 years now I’ve been a subscriber, and I’m excepted to die a Modern Rogue. MOOOOODEEERRRRNNNN ROOOOOOGUUUEEE
How was it?
@@theeyebro too watery 😂 that’s okay tho, I just give it away to my relatives so they can “enjoy” it
@Carson Zimmerman 14 to 18 the legal drinking age where he is
@@OlPalJoe sounds like Canada
You're in Quebec?
To calculate how much honey produces how much alcohol... just remember that on average, honey will add .035 gravity per pound, in a gallon of must. So, they added 3 lbs of honey, that would be a gravity of about 1.105. If that were to ferment "dry" or 1.000 being neutral gravity (no more sugar left) then there would be about 13.8% alcohol by volume in that mead. The formula to calculate that is (Original Gravity minus Final Gravity) multiplied by 131.25 equals ABV of your mead, wine... beer, whatever. Thanks for the video guys, love the entertainment value and glad to see he kept it pretty simple, aka, didn't add a bunch of chemicals!
Our first ever brewing project was mead made from Florida honey that had a slightly orange flavor due to the orange groves the bees pollinated. We let it sit a little over 3 years... wondering if we were crazy or if we'd end up with nasty yellow-orange vinegar water. Let me tell you - don't be afraid to let that stuff sit for several years. We finally pulled that carboy from the basement, poured a couple of glasses for our anniversary, and Oh Wow... Pure Ambrosia!!! If you have a chance to use flavored honey - the real stuff made by bees that feed on specific plants, not the artificially flavored stuff - you won't be sorry. Clover, thistle, rose, orange, etc., all make pretty great simple meads.
hey what yest did you use?
@@maxmagnus777 I wonder as well
@@y33t23 I've found yest that is general and one for vine, they are both with self destruct when they reach some lvl of ph or sweetness. They did cost me 1-2$. I did not make any vine because of... 2020 reasons. I will try to find the bag. It has strange German name.

Gents, Please don't stop making this show. I love your videos. SO much. :3

Also, I love how Brian's having a heart attack with the tasting stick and honey bit. XD

Great presentation! Mead was so prevalent and so important in ancient times that when a couple were to marry, part of the dowry for the marriage would be a month’s supply of mead, this would help to ensure a smooth transition into married life.......we still refer to this “month of honey” as the Honeymoon
That’s really neat!
That's not a true story. Its still a colorful tale but, alass, it just isn't true. Just like wedding rings.
@@Onager-xv3gzThe way you phrased that was like you were saying wedding rings themselves are fictional.
@@drpibisback7680 Sorry, let me clarify. Wedding rings and a honeymoon are real both real things. The commonly told story of each, however, are not correct. The stories of both coming to be are fantasized versions that many think could make sense.
@@Onager-xv3gzI mean.. it totally could make sense. And let's be honest here... none of the "normal" wedding shit makes a damn bit of sense anyways😂

Here's what I learned during my 2 1/2 years in prison over a youtube video. To make great pruno, I learned through trial and error the perfect recipe. A veteran prisoner who had 20 years in prison under his belt told me I made the strongest liquor he ever had. Use store bought jelly. For every one bottle of jelly add 3 bottles of water using the empty jelly bottle to measure your water. Keep in a very warm place, between 75 and 95 degrees. No less than 75 degrees. The warmer the climate the stronger it will be, and the quicker it will ferment. In prison I worked in the boiler room which was very, very warm 24/7. I made my best pruno during that time. Once your batch starts fermenting, let it keep fermenting for at least 7 days or until it stops bubbling/fermenting. If you're pruno is sweet to the taste and/or sticky on your skin, then it's NOT done. You don't want to taste sugar. That means the yeast didn't finish fermenting it OR you put too much sugar in it. Yeast will die after a certain alcohol content is reached in your batch, regardless of how much sugar you put in it, and believe me, a little sugar goes a long way. If you drink a batch that has too much unfermented sugar in it, you can get a bad stomach ache, and some serious, serious heart burn. I've been through it. Now, the same measurements apply for mead. For every one bottle of honey, add 3 bottles of water using the same honey bottle to measure your water. I make my pruno using honey, and jelly. Jelly gives it a wine look/taste, and honey gives it a good kick. The end product is a very smooth, clean taste, and most importantly, it is a clean smooth buzz. I drank 5 bottles once and passed out at work (in prison).
How did you get your yeast?
@@Stranger_1 if he could get jelly he could probably get bread too
@@Stranger_1 Or it just naturally fermented from random yeast in the environment.
Interesting to know

i thought i was just clicking on an instructional video of how mead is made but i ended up being thoroughly entertained and enlightened and gained another channel in my sub feed!
This just made my day. Thanks.
You and me both, my dude!
The Modern Rogue are we getting a follow up video of how your mead is doing? I made mead using this video and it came out very well. And I guess fast, month and a half finish.

Buy it at your local vendor.
Living in the backwoods of PA, as I do, I'm no stranger to making mead. I like to back-sweeten it with more honey & berry juice, from plants in my back yard. Sometimes I use elderberry, sometimes wild raspberry, sometimes cherry.
I tend to ignore the finer, more technical aspects of it, so it was no real surprise when I made a batch that clearly had a very extreme alcohol content to it. My wife had two wine glasses of it, and ended up with the spins. I always use champagne yeast, and don't chemically stabilize it, just let it run 'til it dies.
Not sure what the content was with that batch, but when I bottled it, I labeled it "Snake Bite Mead."
It wouldn't cure snake bite, but if you could get the snake to drink it, He'd be too damn drunk to strike straight.
You suffer from a deplorable excess of personality
You have problems. No one cares
how long before the yeast stops on its own?

Terrell Pinder shut up you cringe kid.
just the look on Brian's face at 29:50 when he looks into the cup of the sweeter mead and says "dangerous" cracks me up
As someone that has made a lot of mead, I'd like to add two things.
One: It's best not to disturb it after it starts to give off CO2 bubbles. It will have a lot of CO2 in liquid suspension, and moving it too aggressively can cause them to be released. Think mentos in a bottle of diet coke and you have the visual of what can happen.
Two: I would advise long-term aging in glass, not plastic. This is something you're going to be drinking and alcohol is a powerful solvent. Over the course of a year's aging it can start to make plastic release some of the petroleum bases it's made from. You would taste that as an "off flavor" or bad aftertaste.
The old gallon glass apple juice jugs worked beautifully for this. The glass office water cooler bottles from the past were even better since you could make more mead in one. Or if you like you can get a 5-gallon glass carboy from any brewing supply, and (unless you drop it) it will last you forever.
Or a 14-gallon Demijohn. Now we're talking.
Happy mead making.
as someone who's interested in making their own mead, how long does the stuff keep for? Also when transferring to glass to age do you need to use the sterilizer used in the video on the glass? They might have mentioned it but do you need to strain your mead or anything to get the yeast out or does that stuff just dissolve? Sorry for all the questions, any answers would be greatly appreciated!
Sooooo... the 75% of all HARD liquors sitting in the liquor store in plastic bottles are all dissolving their plastic bottles huh?😂😂😂😂😂😂 that's a negatory honcho. Some of the strongest acids and solvents in the world are stored in plastic bottles. Not all plastics are the same. I'm guessing you aged a bad tasting batch in plastic and blamed the plastic?😂

Me and my roommate in Afghanistan made quite a bit of Meade. We ordered some champagne yeast and some other brewing chemicals and made about 20 gallons over a year. The highest ABV we were able to get was 18. It also gave the worst hangover in human history so I only actually drank it once and gave the rest away.
The hangover is from the high methanol levels
@@rocksteadyish methanol occurs in distillation, not fermentation

Fun fact: the consumption of alcohol is not unique to humans; we've discovered that animals also eat fermented fruit, even intentionally (which makes sense, as the initial effect on animal perceptions is pleasant).
So it follows that our pregenitors also occasionally ate fermented fruit, which is important, because humans evolved a great resistance to ethanol toxicity (basically, our bodies evolved to catabolize it more effectively than most other animals); this is futhermore relevant in that ethanol is a calorific source for humans.
Long story short, humans were aware of fermented stuff before we had to invent alcoholic beverages; it follows that humans toiled to invent alcoholic beverages deliberately, and that humans did so by figuring out that sweet foods ferment.
The bees in my yard love the fermented pears. Fun to see them stumble and bumble about drunk.

My girlfriend thought it was a stupid obsession but here I am a year later. I just started my first batch yesterday and its doing great! So again thank you to the Modern Rogue lol
Actually the reason why honey is self stable is due to its extremely low water content and it's slightly acidic so any bacteria that enters honey almost immediately has their cell walls ruptured due to the low water content that just wants to absorb as much water as possible.
Alex G. Great info! That’s fascinating.

That sounds incredible.
Jason Murphy I hope so. I haven't tasted it since adding the fruit. But it smells incredible already.
The peach turned out great. The nectarine one is pretty bitter though.
I could literally watch you guys all day the chemistry that you guys present while conducting the video is absolutely amazing hilarious and downright entertaining I love it don’t stop even with the disturbing jokes the weird puns and the double entendres
I discovered your channel through this video. I thought it was going to be a regular old step by step video, but you guys kept me entertained, especially with the tasting stick. I'm actually going to be making my own batch of mead sometime soon. Also you guys should make an update video on your mead.
I came across some pecan flavored home brew mead. About the only downside was I had to explain why I was running around naked; it seems to sneak up on you and hit you in the head. I'll give you a challenge; absinthe.
Wrench245 We should definitely do an absinthe episode.
Jason Murphy
Maybe you can actually get people to ignore all the bad press from back in the day when the French wine makers were scared of losing business....
There's a lot of history to go over with absinth. And _La Clandestine_ is properly special stuff, if you can get it. Only type I've tried where the sugar cube is totally optional.
Stuff will get you *shmammered* because of how easy it can be to drink.
Ooh yes, please do an absinthe episode! I'd say the mystique around it puts it right up your guys' alley.
Mate, anybody who ignores the sugarcube (or uses the "bohemian method") should be banned from drinking absinthe.
JakeSnake07
I was giving an example of a specific type that is so damn good on its own (obviously post-louche) that you don't even need to add the sugar. It's the only one I've had where that's possible since my other bottle (St. George) definitely needs the added sweetness of the sugar cube, as would most others.
But most people aren't going to start out with such an expensive bottle of the stuff so La Clandestine is a bit of an outlier there.
The synchronization on the “really” at the beginning is awesome
Watched this video 3 years ago, college student living in a dorm. Now that I'm out in the world, I'm ready to start my own batch!
The sugar in honey is actually only part of the reason that it doesn't go bad. Bees also add their own kind of antibodies and that is also what helps it keep so long

This is one of my favorite MR videos. Making mead is fun, I enjoy it but its mainly because it has scenes that make me laugh so hard that I cry.
It was sterile until you put your fingers in the bucket.
Edit: And then I saw the tasting stick. CONTAMINATION!
Spoken like a true mycologist, lol.
I was thinking that too.
So him putting everything back on the table was fine though?
@@TheLegalAssasin the table was likely nothing when compared to the amount of bacteria in the human mouth. After he sucked on that finger once, he double dipped into the second container. (aside from the fact of the initial contamination when placed in the 1st container, the first time ). I would also contend that even though it was not shown in this particular video; most people when performing bio-hazard experiments ( like microbiology, or brewing ) its really important to have a clean work space. Ideally, that table should have been sanitized before they even started.

Fakjbf I don’t know if that fits into our mission statement, but ... it’s been discussed. More than once.
Simple, roll a D20 till you get a 20, put that in Dexterity, and your a god tier rogue at LVL 0
Oh and also, i might bring mead to my DND night, but ill have to brew it first, any way i can get that cherry recipe? or whatever the fuck you call a recipe for mead, POINT IS, I like cherry, although Peaches, fuck it im doing both, thanks for letting me rank Buckos.
Jason: if that happens, I want in.
To be honest that'd be cool. I agree that it doesn't sound much *like* what a rogue would do, but I would 100% watch a 6 hour vid of you guys paying DnD!!
6:40 That's where all the ideas for the Candy Wine episode came from!
"dear Edgar you taste delicious" haha Perfect
Shwood looks like the nerd in class who's cool with sharing. "We're learning, we're learning!"
I really want them to make a try the tasting stick T shirt now
SilentiDx Yes!
Jason Murphy After the last episode I'm just waiting for more of those golden moments of yours, and the GIFs you guys make of them. I'm still searching Facebook for an appropriate use of your Scream.gif!
"I have consumed all of the base properties of mead"
Love it!!!
Are we gonna get a follow up now that it's been a few months and Brian and Jason can try their own mead?

11:05 What is it with Jason and being so ridiculous with what he does? I'm not complaining. It's fucking hilarious.
LOL Loved the laughter - I think some mead was consumed prior to filming. LOL
Cant think of mead without thinking about skyrim.
instead of buying alcohol illegally im just gonna brew my own mead and hide it from my parents
.jk
Excuse mee dis is da fib and we r arrest yuo
"JK" ;)
lol ive actually done this. Let it sit for a month but something went wrong and i got a mouthful of rancid pineapple juice.
Lucus M lmao.
Zonies Coasters If your folks drink... share it with them. :-P
I will be disappointed if a Skyrim Nord mead joke is not made.
One was definitely made, even if it didn't make it into the cut.
I followed your basic advice here, and used leftover buckwheat honey from my hives last year. After a month and a half of fermenting, I bottled. Left it a few days and it’s actually amazing to drink!! Love this more than wine. Sort of wine meets dark beer meets cognac? Excellent and thanks for the vid!
Brian: "Jason, we're getting the band back together!"
Jason: "Cut off by noon: The reunion tour!"
waldo 78 Lol!
Aw hell yeah! This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile, and will absolutely do with a friend when I get home from studying abroad this summer! I don't know why I love it so much, but mead is just the best drink ever!
We also want to make beer, but that's more normal.
Sound, what the heck are you even trying to imply? That I, who've wanted to do this for years, and a friend who's done this dozens of times, who've been planning to do this for about a year now (though I'm kind of absent right now) just... will decide not to make anything all of a sudden?
I really don't even know what you mean by that comment, it's really out of place.
Knowing you can just grab a couple gallon bottles of water, honey, wine yeast, a balloon and a hydrometer (pretty cheep on amazon) and you're go makes starting a lot easier than a huge list of equipment does.
Shorter dudes laugh is great. Made me laugh just hearing him laugh.
These guys are giants. If I remember correctly, the "short" guy is 6 foot tall.
@@ryangatien6615 still short to me. I'm 6'6. So have a nice day kid.
