I decided to try something dumb. I saw meads in the olden days was supposedly around 6% ABV and drank young. So took 1lb of honey gallon pickle jar used a paper towel and plate for an air lock , because did they really have air locks in the 700's. Could not help myself tried a glass after just 30hrs. It was really good, I'm going to try it again after a week.

I've made several - and there's only one right way to do it. You boil un-salted (no shell) peanuts and keep removing them and adding more to the water for several hours until you're satisfied that the water is permeated with peanut taste/smell. This is now your base water for the mead - cool it and add honey/yeast like normal, and then you can add strawberry/or whatever berry flavor you want. The resulting mead has real peanut butter taste - don't try and use extract or pb powder, it will come out all chemically tasting

If you are looking for citrus that you don't have to worry about bittering from pith, get a kumquat (best) or calamondin tree. The skins are all "zest," no pith, so they are a perfect flavoring citrus, and make killer marmalades. Dade City has a kumquat festival, January 27th, so you can get some really nice fruits or a baby tree. Calamondin are super producers and will keep making fruit as long as weather permits, while many other citrus might give you 2 crops a year tops.

Is there a difference in quality/taste (aside from the difference in abv and volume) in backsweetening vs. bottling mead before it goes dry, say if it stalls or has residual sugar left? For example, is there a major difference in character between adding 2.5 lb of honey, letting it dry, and adding a half lb for sweetness vs. adding 3 lb, and halting fermentation when the gravity reads the equivalence of a half pound of honey's worth of sugar left?

This doesn't really have anything to do with this mead. I made a mistake while making an experimental mead, I was going for a cotton candy mead by adding flavors in the back sweetening. Never EVER use snow cone flavorings. The ingredients listed didn't seem like it would cause and issue, but it did something so completely weird. The ingredients were "High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate (preservative), Artificial Flavor, Blue #1". What it did to my mead was it made a bunch of white stringy things and almost congealed. It was throughout the mead within minutes. Since then I added pectic enzyme to try to clear it up, it did clear up really well so hopefully I can save this one. I didn't know what to do but I thought I had to tell someone about this, certainly a mistake. Maybe something to mention in a 'Never do this' video about mead. I also got some bentonite just in case it's still a problem.

Your closing comments on this brew lead me to this question How is it when you buy shop bought wine, port, spirits or liquor's you don't taste the ethanol flavor, but you do feel the warmth of the ethanol or at least this is what I notice, however when I home brew I get the warmth and an over powering flavor of ethanol in the final product, why is this?
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews 2 месяца назад
Mostly it comes down to balancing and age. We rarely taste ethanol in things that are more than a couple months old really. You have to keep in mind, we are reaching for details to share when we do tastings to give the most of the experience we can.

@CitySteadingBrews

I just started a Pear Cider was the idea. I used 11 pears (4 lbs 8 oz) of different brands. I also added 64 oz of Knuckers Pear juice. The pears are listed at 40 grams of sugar per pound. I am making a 2 gallon batch so start with closer to 2.5 gallons. The Juice is 25 Grams per serving 8 servings total. With all of that, my initial gravity was only at 1.020 so I added about 1.5 lbs of sugar and am still only at about 1.040. Can you check the math on this and tell me if I am off or was that initial 1.020 about right for what I added? Please?
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews 2 месяца назад
Based on your numbers I get 1.050 but that could be a small volume difference. I'd have used more juice to pump it up, and less water.

@@CitySteadingBrews My Idea is also all of the sugar and flavor from the fruits are still basically trapped in the fruit yes the Sugar will get to them but the Original Gravity is not going to reflect that. I Can always back flavor as well as back sweeten.

Question, please.... We had bought an organic Dark Berry juice from Costco about a year ago. Made a fabulous 1 gallon batch of wine. We couldn't find any more juice - even online. :-( Suddenly, they had it again at Costco! Yay! Grabbed enough for a 3 gallon batch. But it stalled. We couldn't figure out why. Checked the ph, Added ec1118, still nothing. But we re-read the label and saw (sulfites) on the label! What?!... Then realized this wasn't the organic juice. Very frustrating that we didn't notice at first. I got too excited in the store. Now we need help. Is there anything we can do to get it to ferment further? It's about 8%. OG 1.102 went to 1.040 SPG 3 Gallon batch. Please help. It's too sweet for us - or even Brian!

I'm super excited to try this recipe out! What are your thoughts about using a bit of lactose to give it that milky mouthfeel in the back sweetening process? Could that take away from the honey/mead character?

@CitySteadingBrews 2 месяца назад
Might work.
@NomadOnDiscord
@NomadOnDiscord 2 месяца назад
I've used lactose a few times now. What I've seen from others, though I haven't experimented with it myself, is that lactose tends to not dissolve well in backsweetening. On the good side, lactose doesn't ferment. I also have a usual range that I've found works for me for sweetness levels. So, what I'll do when I want to add lactose in is to add about half as much sweetness as I expect to want, as lactose in primary. It still leaves me room to backsweeten to taste later, but gives it the opportunity to dissolve and incorporate over time. (For anyone who's not used it, note that according to the NIH, lactose is 0.2-0.4 times the sweetness of table sugar. This means that at least twice as much, and up to five times as much lactose is needed to equal the sweetness of the same weight as sugar.)
