The fact that you can use almost any fruit has me so hype to make this. The possibilities are endless im thinking a nice blueberry mead or the roasted coconut would be so bomb
Just finished my first apple mead. It's really good. I noticed fermentation dropped off after a week and a half, but I kept it going for 3 weeks total.
Since the first time i saw your reels, i've made 14 batches of mead, im now fully equiped, 4 -1 gallons brewing right now. I stoped buying beer and wine since.
I just started brewing my own alcohol because of your videos. Does you recipe book talk about specific sanitizers, acids and nutrients that you add? Also please post more videos! They are great!
Sanitation I have had good experience with using Starsand for sanitizing. You don't need to wash of any of the soap and it is therefore super practical. Sanitation of ingredients For sanitizing the ingredients like fruit i usually soak them in boiling water for 5 minutes and remove the water with a strainer. I would not do this with berries since they are a bit to fragile. I usually use frozen berries since it's recommended to freeze any fruit for 3 days if they are fresh. Acidity For acidity Lemon Juice, or Citric Acid is great. You can always add this after fermentation to taste, and that will also make sure that the PH will not stress the yeast. Nutrition The micronutrients are often called Yeast Energizer and can be usually found at any brewshop. You can also use boiled yeast from another batch of brewing, but it is hard to messure out in the right amount. Yeast Any white wine yeast is good, but personally i think Kveik is a great option. This yeast will ferment well in almost any temperature, it can be reused, and produces a more fruity taste that compliments meads well. It is general verry forgiving and a great option for beginners. Measurement ABV I would absolutely recommend getting a hydrometer to measure the progress of the brew. This instrument will also make it possible to figure out the alcohol percentage when the brew is done. Take a measurement before fermentation and after to get the information you need. Just google Alcohol By Volume ABV.
I purchased your book and have made the Apple Cinnamon. I racked it to the secondary and back sweetened it with a little honey 5 weeks ago. I bottled it yesterday. How long do you typically age it? My final ABV is 14.3%.
I have a few questions on the process of making mead that I'd like answered before I start, 1: How long can you let it ferment and what would be your recommended time frame be. 2: Where could I buy the yeast and yeast nutrients. 3: Can you put any kind of fruit in it. 4: Where could I buy things like the siphon and other equipment for the mead making. That's really all my questions.
So I’m making my second batch, first batch was amazing. I realized I had way too much honey to water when the process is done and I bottle it can I just add water to each bottle or will this mess with the mead. It’s about a gallon jar, 3/4 is honey and the rest water, plus fruits. It’s not stupid thick though.
Hello. I am looking at making some mead, and was wondering what I’d need, and what the steps are. One final question, does homemade mead make a good gift? Thanks in advance, cheers!
Can horchata mead be made? Like would that be possible? I wanna learn how to make mead and if horchata flavored mead is possible, I’d like to make that into a goal along the way lmao
I've been dealing with this recently and saw your comment so I figured I'd chime in: Headspace isn't important really at all in primary fermentation because of the amount of CO2 that will be produced. It will fill all of the headspace allowing no oxygen in. In secondary fermentation and after bottling though, it is pretty important to leave as little headspace as possible. Leaving too much headroom (filled with oxygen) oxidizes your mead and creates off-flavors. If you are in a bottle or jug that has a neck, try to get it to the neck if possible to minimize the exposed surface area. Good luck brewing! Cheers!
There's lots of different experiences people have reported using various types of yeasts. In theory, it should work but it might not achieve the results desired for ABV (gravity) or flavor
Are you paying by the second? Do you have to rush the video as much as possible? I feel like attempting even a little bit to make it enjoyable would be nice
Since you're going to charge us for your apple cinnamon mead recipe instead of kindly sharing it, I will buy the recipe and leak it to reddit and every forum possible. Tit for tat 😉

Totally agree. I cant wait to try this.
I want to try lychee and mango!
Or a spiced orange mmm
Blueberry lemon and vanilla
Yooo roasted coconut sounds phenomenal!!! I’m thinking about mulberry.
Bruv im thinking about it and i think dragon fruit and banana would be crazy
@@GeorgeTremblay-q1n when in doubt try it out brother. I encourage you to give it everything you got.

Please make a video on all the tools and things to use!
blueberry vanilla underrated once again
I'm making the apple cinnamon mead right now, just started it tonight, I'll tell you how it turned out in a few months!
How is it going?
@@fuzzboifailed 😂
Update?
@@Hyst44 Turned out great, didn't need any backsweetening, and I'm going to make another batch of it soon :)

Are there no time scales in his book? 🤦
I bought one with sweet woodruff once, that was probably the best one I've tried.

That's really all my questions.
Length of fermentation is debatable. but once your mead reaches about 18% abv it won't ferment any further.
Amazon has all the tools he uses. But I would also support him by going to his website, he sells starter kits!!!
My first introduction to homemade mead was KingCobra so this looks insanely good 😂
apples plus raspberry plus strawberry tone it done with half cup light molasses and then put less honey in yeast and stir yep yep
Thanks for these videos, it's much appreciated
Love this🥰
Question... What if I Juiced my fruit and then made mead? Have you ever thought of that? I'm curious...thx...love your channel
Do I need to sanitize the fruit first?
I wish I knew how to do mead.. is there a way to speak with the guy of this channel?
So I’m making my second batch, first batch was amazing.

Really excited to make some blueberry mead
Wounder if you could do sweet tea with the apple cinnamon
One day I would like to try lemon and lavender
Can you mix fruits like: Strawberry, sour cherry and blackberries. Or any kind of fruit can go in the fermentation. Thanks
Hello, i have a quick question, how big is the risk of producing methanol while making mead?
Methanol is more of a problem when youre distilling, fermenting alone is extremely low risk
Can you do a basic tupelo honey mead? Is tupelo really the best honey in the world?
Avocado blossom honey and apples, any and all apples❤

Do videos on how to do it step-by-step and sell the stuff to do it 🤔
Can you do Kiwi and Fig wine?
Will more of your mead making kits be available/in stock again?
I tried strawberry mead a while ago, but the taste ended up being way too subtle.
It was still alright tho
May you talk about head space? I didnt recognize how important it is

Please make an equipment guide
The number one spot should be heather mead
Am I missing where he gives the amounts of different ingredients?
Do a coffee mead
What’s the recipe?
Are you paying by the second? Do you have to rush the video as much as possible? I feel like attempting even a little bit to make it enjoyable would be nice
You really go out of your way to harass him. 🤔
Vids are made for tiktok
This is what happens when they make shit to fit a minute or tiktok and yeah you are right it's trash but it gets views
I agree. Short form content is lame
What do you mean? You want more details on each receipe or whats the issue? I don't get it
