Clawhammer here.Yep, we 100% rushed this batch and tasted it early. We were just too excited. Can you blame us!? Just wanted to say that the mead is great as is, but will be even better with some aging. Thanks for the tips and tricks! The starter guide included with the kit is super helpful and so are all of your videos.
Would love for you to make a longer form video on when to use nutrients and which nutrients to use. How to make sure ph is steady with different fruits and spices in it.
I used to brew beer and i am thinking of getting back into both again. Could you secondary ferment this mead to also get it clearer? I also used to use a bottling wand, which mad filling the bottles extremely easy with little mess.
@goldenhivemead Can you make some videos on carboy storage during fermentation of different types of racks such and wood, steel and uline's plastic storage?
Buddy you’re so awesome your commentator ness is great it’s like we’re just talking shooting the shits love how you were like wait I feel left out hahahaha fucking a buds A1
Thanks for the info! I recently tried making wine with Welch's grape juice. It stopped fermenting completely, and I realized that it was because I sanitized the equipment with bleach, but used unsterilized tap water to rinse it. Got any cheap sanitizers that you recommend?
is there any reason to not store the mead in the fermentation container if you don't plan on making more mead yet? I don't really want to spend more on buying glass bottles and a capper, at least not now, and I'm about to start my first fermentation
I'm just wondering if u got a long video explaining some of the phases, this one is nice but just scrathed the itch! Gimme more to enhance my will to start batching!
My starter plastic 1.25 gallon is getting yeast sediment on the side wall lips, should I transfer to a secondary vessel, or leave the batch fermenting as it still is fermenting?
I started a batch with your kit. I feel like I followed the directions carefully. After 60 days, I decided to transfer from the gallon carboy to two half gallon jugs that I could back sweeten differently. While transferring I felt like the smell coming from the bottle wasn't great and so I tasted the batch. It tasted like vinegar with a very strong alcohol content. Knowing bad wine tastes like that, I pitched the batch not knowing where I went wrong but vowing to try again. I carefully sanitized before I started. Any idea where else I might've gone wrong? Or did I waste the beginning of an ok batch?
question, do you aerate your mead during the first few days or not at all, or if you have insight on the matter that would be nice, i tend to find conflicting information. Thanks for your content, I've made orange juice mead, persimmon mead, and blueberry pomegranate is still clearing up.
I wish I could afford to try and then make mead because it looks fun and other than the food items like fruit and honey, it’s just too expensive. Now let me explain, I’m a disabled US Air Force veteran and the VA gives me as a not married & no dependents at the time of comment, I only get about $320 per month. That’s my whole income because my disability relates to an injury of my spine and I’m in constant pain and so I take pain meds which make me a liability to employ. Even trying to start my own business has become an issue that I can’t resolve so yeah me not being able to afford any mead making kit means I’ll never be able to try and/or make mead

When she said she should have tried something better first, I was a bit conflicted because my homemade meads tasted better than the commercial ones

Its like 28 - 34 degrees celsius where I live, is it possible to make mead? I heard most yeast requires fairly low temperatures to make alcohol.
