Can We Make Creamsicle Mead? Worth it or no? Creamsicle... one of those flavors from my youth that I just like. Kind of reminds me of St Joseph's baby aspirin, or ice cream, but hey... let's make it a mead. So, how did it come out?
Ingredients:
2.5 lbs (1.13 kg) Honey (we used Wild Flower Honey, but Orange Blossom would be perfect)
104 oz (2.948 kg) Water
4 Mandarin Orange Peels
Lalvin 71-B yeast: amzn.to/45dyB2E
2.5 grams Fermaid O: amzn.to/3rUEXp7
Additions:
1/2 Vanilla Bean: amzn.to/3Qt1Dav
Back Sweeten with Honey to desired sweetness (we raised our brew to 1.028 gravity reading)
Pasteurization: • Easiest Way to Pasteur...
Racking: • Racking Homemade Mead,...
Bottling: • How to Bottle Mead, Wi...

I made a Orange Creamsicle mead a year or more ago. But back sweetened with lactose to add that Milk Cream mouth feel back. That was one of my successful brews. Finished exactly the way I had envisoined from the start.

At about 23:15 in your explanation of vinegar was very helpful. There are numerous concerns and worries for those of us just starting out, vinegar being an important one. That's what's really cool about your videos. You showcase a new recipe but yet there is timely reinforcement of basic concepts along the way. And you don't do it in a "Uh-oh, I better take notes, class is in session" kind of way. You make it interesting and always at opportune times. Another area of concern is PH. I have been tempted to buy a PH meter but I'm not sure if it's really necessary for this level of brewing. If you have a video on the topic, please share. If not, perhaps it's something you can address in a future video. Keep up the great work!!

I love creamsicle flavor, the pushup pops were a favorite as a child. (Never heard of the candies?) This flavor will be one I add to the list to try. I have been learning lots from y'all and truly love your humor and very thorough educational approach. Y'alls witty/humorous shirts always crack me up. Calculator joke makes me smile every single time! I agree in having the proper tools for the job (hydrometer, good fermenters, and so on) especially when doing something somewhat scientific like this as you want to be as successful and replicatable as possible. I appreciate the new dual scoring system as well. If that is a Pilot G2 pen (kind of looks like it), they are awesome. I have used blue color version (.7mm) for over a decade at work (used to sign/write a lot) and they ARE the best! Hehe, use them at home now too of course.

I have a peach wine that I have had sitting on the lees for over 2 years. It still tastes fine. And this is the brew that when I wrecked it I watched it go from this beautiful peach color to a brown right in front of my eyes because oxidation. But I have tried it and there seems to be nothing wrong with it other than it doesn't have the most beautiful peach color anymore.

Love to see a brew made with just leftover crystalized honey. We could see the best way to use the honey and how it would come out with crystals still around when fermentation is happening. All the different types you may have just not enough to use for one brew but if you combine them it may be enough.

I think we dod something along those lines… not sure. But you just put crystallized honey in hot eater and it liquifies again. Pretty simple.

Firstly, you guys got me into home brewing 3 years ago and it's great to see you getting the success and attention you deserve. I've watched other channels but none put such a large emphasis on making things simple and understandable for first-time brewers. Some people might find the reiteration of good brewing practices repetitive but its so important to make these things second nature. Secondly, what is your opinion on stabilization by exceeding the yeast ABV tolerance? Since day 1 I opted to step feed until exceeding the yeast's tolerance, and gave generous bulk aging time before thinking of backsweetening and bottling. I still follow this practice after 3 years and haven't had something go wrong yet. I noticed that you guys usually prefer to pasteurize, is that because you find it easier/less time consuming/cheaper/prefer lower ABV? Would you consider step feeding to be a valid form of stabilization? Thirdly, you guys should do some more beer videos! I branched out to beer brewing last year using your old videos, and would love to see you do some updated beer recipes.

I agree that in order to get the creaminess, you might need lactose or a lactose substitute. Maybe there are plant-based alternatives out there that might work. You might want to use less zest or another type of citrus zest as well. Still, for anyone who loves orange and orange-flavoured things, I think this is a winner.

Yes, we know about possible toxicity. But we were planning on juicing our elderberries with our steam juicer like we do to make syrup with them (the juice has been at a boiling point for a bit).

Brian, I planted two peach trees in 2018, this is the first year I have gotten any to harvest. I now have 15 one gallon bags of (frozen) peaches. I am going to try a test mead with one gallon of peaches and then hopefully larger batches with 7 gallons of peaches per batch. So far all I can think of for ingredients is peaches, fermad-o, black tea, honey, and 71B yeast. Do you have any recommendations of any other ingredients? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Have you ever done/considered a peach mead?

Never made a peach mead, but have made peach wine, it has to age out for quite awhile, so be patient. Peach is also a more delicate flavor than what one would think, I had to resort to a cupful of extract per bottle to get the peachy flavor I was looking for.

Silly question, if you were overly concerned about diluting the ABV, would substituting honey with white sugar be better? I would assume it would not make that big of a difference. Also I agree that changing the ABV by around 1% or so is negligible but I’m just curious. I absolutely love your channel by the way!

Could you mix PB2 and vodka to later add to the secondary? Read a comment on Reddit that mentioned something about their mead getting an infection due to the peanut butter. I don’t believe they added vodka to the peanut butter though. Any info or alternatives to this? I want to make a PB&J mead.

love all of your content now here is what i was wondering . If you were to dehydrate or freeze dry some fruit and then grind it to a powder , would it still work like um say peaches and pineapples mixed with honey to make it a mead ? any ideas on that ? i know it is going to be a lot of work but it could be a faster fermentation due to there being less area of the fruit , i dont know so what are your thoughts ? ps where do we send things to you ? i was the guy who asked about kerns peach nectar and you said you dont have it there i was going to send you a case if it to try
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews Год назад
Address is on our channel page under “about”. As for the freeze dry thing… never tried, but fermentation still has to get to all the sugars so… not sure if it would he that much faster. May alter flavors though.
@eddavanleemputten9232
@eddavanleemputten9232 Год назад
I think grinding to a powder might cause a lot of sediment to form that might not compact easily… causing a lot of loss when racking. Dehydrating thin slices might work better. There might be some alteration in flavour (especially ‘normal’ dehydration as opposed to freeze drying) but depending on what you dehydrated, it might actually give added value. It might add a ‘cooked’ or ‘baked’ flavour. My personal preference when working with fruit is to use a brewing bag or a nut milk bag, but I make sure the fruit gets plenty of room inside the bag because I found that if the fruit is packed too tightly, there is a little less flavour extraction. I want to get the maximum bang for my buck when making a fruit-flavoured alcohol.

Why not make an orange zest maceration extract and add a little if you need to boost the orange flavor? I have found that making lots of little batches of extracts lets me dial in the flavor profile much better than just adding things in secondary. Currently making a version of this mead and I have bottles of mandarin orange, bitter orange, sweet orange, kumquat, and vanilla extracts going. At the end I can dial in more citrus to hit the flavor I want. Also plan on back-sweetening with lactose since I want that rich creamy mouth feel.

It's been buubling like crazy for the past two days so I'm confident its it's brewing pretty good.

Is there any reason why you wouldn't pasteurize before back sweetening?

You can if you prefer. The only reason we don't is because pasteurizing can often clear the haze caused by backsweetening with honey. Also... honey may contain wild yeast and could restart fermentation.

Somewhat a generic kind of question here. When you added the honey, you essentially were finished so you pasteurized it. Would there ever be a situation where you would want to let it sit again knowing it might continue to ferment? Would sitting with potential active fermentation allow more flavors to come out or is it generally good practice to stabilize after back sweetening? What are the pros and cons of stabilizing vs letting the brew continue under airlock after back sweetening? Thanks!!
