We made mead with items from the grocery store. Easy recipe, but tastes good! Perfect recipe for a beginner, yet still worthwhile …
I've been enjoying your videos for years now, and this just adds to the list of good ones! From your experience do you think there's a difference in aging time or quality between the different yeasts?
First mead and grape wine clarifying,. First cider bottled. Cranberry wine and second grape wine now fermenting. That escalated quickly.
Is there a way to make mead without fruit? I'm allergic to most fruit like apples, grapes, oranges, and lemon.
I love you guys. I am so inspired!
You two have been the driving force behind me starting to brew mead. Carboy with airlock, Hydrometer, yeast and yeast nutrient is on its way, then to pick up honey etc. Just want to say thank you for the push to do something fun.
oo thank you so much of this long video. watched and drink some beer. as with my another eye, looking my first blueberry mead making "plop" sound next to me.. i got so many questions about mead/wines but maybe i will shout out those some another time 🙂 nice video anyway. thank you
I started my first mead this morning, after three weeks of gathering equipment and watching a ton of vids, mostly yours which are my favorite. Question: if grapes add nutrients to wine, why don't raisins add nutrients to mead? I still added them anyway, but I wondered.
This feels like a remake of the beginner mead from a year or so ago
When I racked my mead i added a bit more cider to age so to be less oxygen to the top, got a funky ring swirl.
Yeasty but when i swirled it it stayed in a longer perfect circle to the bottom of my 1 gallon vessel. No off colors.
Is this normal?
That bottle of honey would cost me $25 in Alaska. Jealous.
I'm sorry all of the wine yeasts I've used aren't all that great for settling, clearing, etc… In other words don't sweat the brew. Time heals all brews. 🙂
Why not use a micrograder on the lemons?
Great video, I loved that you used all ingreadents from a grocery store just to show how easy it is. I saw that yall sanatized the fruit in starsan. I was planning to make a strawberry mead but with frozen strawberrys. Should i sanatize them or should they be good since they were packaged and frozen. Also Do you have a suggestion on how many pounds of strawberry for roughly a gallon of mead. The recipies i looked up varied quite a bit. Thank you!
I keep bees, have real honey!
I have just recently started watching and brewing along with you from Canada! You are both hilarious and I am completely addicted! Here in Canada instead of a Bloody Mary we make a Ceasar with Clamato juice, vodka, lemon juice, Tabasco, worcestershire sauce and celery salt and lots of people like to add
Pickle juice or pickle beans. I am wondering if there is any way to make this into a fermentation (minus the vodka of course)? Have you guys ever tried a tomato or salt or pickle based fermentation? Would this even work? Thanks in advance!
I noticed that when you write, that you "crank" your wrist as most southpaws do (and, I USED to do).
I found that if I rotated the PAPER 60-90º counter-clockwise, that I could write without the wrist gymnastics. Advice from one southpaw, to another.
What about using an oligosaccharide instead of the rinds?
For a beginner, would you recommend or discourage adding carbon dioxide to your containers before racking?
Hello , I started my Mead yesterday and it is happily bubbling away in my kitchen. My starting gravity was 1.080 . After it finishes, is there anything wrong if, after I sweetening to taste, I let it start fermenting again to raise the alcohol back to what the bread yeast can do before I pasteurize. I realize I may have to adjust the sweetness a second time
My airlock blew all the liquid out. Sat maybe 24 hours open. Is my brew ruined?
Very nice! Love the intense step-by-step nature here, it's a nice reminder of all the things we need to be doing as brewers
Hi there. Have you guys ever used 'forest honey' to make mead? My local Aldi has Spanish Forest Honey but I've read that forest honey is different somehow. I was wondering if I need to do something different if I attempt to make mead with it.
Hey guys! I've been watching a few months now and I'm about to give this all a shot. Was wondering if y'all had an affiliate link for Northern Brewers. I want a little big mouth. 😁 You guys have been great filling in some of my knowledge gaps and love if you got the kick back for my purchase.
just an FYI you do have to be careful just picking ANY honey off the shelf as some of them are just flavored High Fructose Corn Syrup!
I have watched soooo many of your videos and really enjoy them (even though i am not brewing yet) but i do have a question..
I havent seen a video of a savory style mead. you often see sweet or dry but never a flavor recipe that is savory…
is a savory mead a thing? hmm.. hope that not a dumb question…
Lol im probably with you guys on the sweetness 😂 also the taste as you go is very up my alley. My mom taught me to cook by taste so i'm very attuned to subtle changes and i think adding and tasting makes more sense for me in the long run
Chaucers is the only mead I've ever really had (that i remember). Do you have any favorite or recommended "commercial" brewers you like to buy from? Doesn't have to be small batch, etc. Just curious. Groennfell & Havoc have been in my bookmarks for a while but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Commented on a video about if you know adding vanilla beans and butter to a mead will add those flavours. I ended up trying it out. I definitely had the vanilla in to long but it still worked pretty well. The butter worked more than I thought it would. Added flavour as well as mouth feel. It even cleared out the brew while the rest of the brew I didn't add the butter to is still cloudy. Will definitely be doing it again.
Just add the cinnamon stick and you have JAOM.
Great job on your explanations of everything.
You guys are amazing!
Thanks to you guys, I have my first mead fermenting right now, which I started just over a week ago. I'm looking forward to how it turns out.
awesome vid as usual!
