Did Age FIX These Meads? // Taste Test

- This is more or less just a fun taste test video - Usually in-between year tastings I post a full mead recipe video, but I'm catching up on content and am waiting for a mead to finish clearing so I can get that video wrapped up. Thank you all for your support!

Always a good day when I open RUclips to find a new video from Faewood Mead!
Aww you're too sweet!
Awesome as always.
Thank you!
You’re seasoning cast-iron with old mead? What in tarnation!
I sure do 🥰
Great video 🎉
Really Appreciate Your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠
Thx TigerPat!
Ginger is really easy to take over a mead in the flavor side of things making it hard to balance. it is a great thing in the less-is-more additions most of the time. Elderberry NEEDS to be paired with something brighter or you have to use acid to balance it out. Peach is also one of the weakest flavors and benefits from White and yellow in equal amounts and add an extra pound to boost the flavor.
Agreed!
I ❤ your chaos energy!
I have two meads that are at least two years old. Very medicinal tasting. Maybe some acid and Allulose might help, but doubtful. They are clean, but medicinal.
Eeeesh, yeah that can happen. What ingredients did you use?
@@FaewoodMead Licorice, star anise, and similar.
I made an elderberry wine before, and my impression was similar. The favor was dark, with strong notes of earth and raisin. Not my favorite. I then made a pomegranate elderberry wind and I thought the combo was great.
That sounds really nice - perhaps the brightness of the Pomegranate balanced the earthiness of the Elderberry?
I’ll say aging works wonders not just mead but all brews especially if you want developing an delicious flavour.
As long you didn’t let them aged for next 50 years lol
Nice t-shirt too
Haha, agreed and thank you!
@@FaewoodMead Welcome ^^
I have an elderberry wine that has given me similar issues with a strong bitter note that seems to be 'unfixable'
Darn it elderberries!
I just submitted 'new world perry' for competition and another one that has ginger in it. Not a mead, but very nice. Can't wait for the judge sheets.
Oooo I'm excited for you!
I think you should retry these Cold🥶 before relegating them to 'cast iron fodder' or heaven forbid 'dumping' them entirely. Skål!
Haha! Maybe I will
Nice thumbnail
Thx
Certain styles of mead are meant to age before drinking, think of polish meads for example.
Same goes for certain wines, some have to age up to 10 years to reach their peak.
With this I don't mean that you shouldn't prefer to make meads that are ready sooner, but only that meads and wines meant to age are a thing. A big thing actually.
So, kinda like, it's not that you made a bad mead only because it needed to age, if that makes sense.
Actually, it's an achievement in and of itself, because it's not necessarily easy to make those.
Let alone the fact that some wines are still not good after aging! 😂
I'm sure there are some that need more aging! I believe the Polish meads because they're such a high gravity and abv. I guess it's good to know what ingredients and ways of making your mead/wine will require a longer or shorter aging period to get that peak experience.
comment for the youtube gods... LOL
Bless you! lol
If you were a ladybug bug, wouldn’t you want to be in a mead shed?
True
