Home Made Mead (Honey Wine) l Easy Recipe  

Thank you for the love and support 🍻

@@TheDaaruTV Sure thing Daaru!

Because he's advertising a cheap and sole way of making it without buying lots of unnecessary equipment

@Mecanic Z1 just few raisins to supply organic nutrients for the yeast. Add around 10 raisins chopped into pieces per litre. If you add more, it would alter flavour and taste of the mead. Let the fermentation stop and then only transfer the contents to new jar after removing the raisins and yeast sediments. It takes 3-4 months to clear the mead or any wine to be drinkable. So do not hurry. The mead attains maturity at 9 months though you can drink it after just 3 months.

@@Dave_en how can I degas the mead?

@@jennifersequeira1651 just stir the mead with wooden ladle or shake the bottle once a day to let off the dissolved gases.

@@Dave_en can I know the process.of making of mead...I want to do this as my minor project plseee

@@p.saiteja285 definitely I can help you in mead making. Take 1kg pure unrefined honey and 2 litres of boiled and cooled water. Mix them while the water is warm (warm enough to take bath). This will speed up the dissolving process. You can take 1:3 ratio too. Add few golden raisins for natural honey coloured mead, black raisins for little darker mead. Add the juice of a small lemon to adjust the pH to make the right environment for the yeast to work efficiently. You can also add little bit of apple juice about 50ml. So together (raisins, lemon and apple) works as acid blend, fully organic alternative to expensive chemical additive which is available at Amazon. This is my invented secret formula which nobody thought of. It's also verified practically by me. Now prepare the yeast by dissolving a teaspoon of it in little warm water. Add to the honey water mixture and shake vigorously. Keep it under airlock and stir for two minutes twice a day for 7-10 days. Then you can degas your mead once in a while. Temperature should be around 22-25 degree C for best results. After a month of fermentation, keep it undisturbed for another month in dark place. In fact, this jar should be kept at dark place all the time, no sunlight should fall on it. Siphon it after completion of 2 months from start. Again siphon next month to get clearest mead. You can also bottle the mead during second or third racking.

Cruel business

Try rhodomel using rose petals and honey.

I’m getting drunk….. I’m 2 months

Hooligan

Mardhvika is from grapes. Madhavasava is from Honey. And that's not it because it is fermented. All fermented wines (Ayurvedic) are classified under Arista. There were multiple wine processes including fermentation. Most of them are lost.

Well where we can find accurate recipes of these mythological drinks(sura, varuni)

Yes. You'll never know the actual values unless one uses a hydrometer or another measuring device.

description: The alcoholic content ranges from about 3.5% ABV to more than 18%.

70% Isopropyl Alcohol

I agree that it’s not it’s not nearly 18%, but he probably reached 10-12% since he used the regular amount of honey for a 14% brew. He interrupted fermentation but only for probably 30 minutes or so. And if he used bread yeast it can reach up to 13% if he was lucky. I’m guessing with the small amounts he’s working with that he got 10%, if it was a little sweet still.

@@sheerfishin5729 that drink ot will give you headaches and hangover pretty bad,but with a proper drink prepared you will not have such problems.

Hello, idk if this helps but wenn you change the botle for the secondary fermentation you can had any flavour you want, I saw it in another yt video

Lol its called Lees it's the result of fermentation. Syphon your alcohol out leaveing the residue after fermentation is finished age and its good to go

It's just excess yeast

That's temperature outside, not inside houses.

​@@intellectualindian2486 yes. It's barely lower inside the house

Distillation. Boil the drink . And then condense it to extract the alcohol from the yeast.

Yes...If you don't have an airlock, DO that. (The whole purpose of an airlock is to avoid air pressure from from building inside the bottle.) Hope this helps somebody ;)

@@shapingahmed7182 thanks

@@johansantoso6826 or else use a balloon and poke a hole or two in it it's works the same

Can I cover it with a muslin cloth?

@@SKhandleYT yes you can in olden days they used to use silk ot cotton but better results if you put an airlock or else a balloon and poke it with holes for an airlock substitute

Any food grade sanitizer would work

Use a food grade sanitizer

@@TheDaaruTV Thanks a lot!

Can you please provide a link to buy the food grade sanitizer

I am thinking the same 😂😂

If any of your parents have science background especially biology or knows what yeasts are used for, pretty sure they would catch you. I have made plenty of mead variants but still I hide the jars in carton and tuck away into secured place so that my mom doesn't find out. Luckily I don't live in my hometown and mom visits me once a year.

"Mom, I'm just drinking apple juice" (Drinks out of jug like a pirate)

@@D33Lux if it's apple juice then she would like to have it too. In that process you would get caught. Moms are old generations but not fools.

You can tell them it is ayurvedic drink since it has honey lol

Food grade sanitizer

Yes it will effect the final product

@@TheDaaruTV ok bro

I would recommend stirring it daily for few minutes. That way bad flavours would go away leaving you with best mead.

Only one company in Maharashtra called moonshine meadery. But they won't give strong mead as per our requirement and price is high. You can make it at very cheap rate at home. Say 100 rupees a litre if not more

Yes

u can find it on amazon

No way. Even if it's present, it will be in trace amounts say mg/litre. It won't harm you until you consume atleast 10gm of methanol. For such quantity of methanol, you have to drink more than 20 litres of wine/mead which is not possible.

Air lock u can buy it on amazon

That’s awesome 🍻

Yes, else unwanted bacteria would spoil the mead even before it's ready. Just like making pickles, bottles need mandatory sanitizing/sterilizing.

Yes, or else you will get sour wine like vinegar.

@@Dave_en can I sterilize the bottle by boiling it in hot water?

@@jennifersequeira1651 yes, it would be better. But you can also keep it in the sun for few hours after washing it with warm water and mild soap.

@@Dave_en Thank you

No it doesn’t

@@TheDaaruTV ok bri

You need to remove the yeast or your stomach may hurt next morning along with diarrhea. Also yeasty drink tastes worst. So let the yeasts settle down before drinking. Rack 2-3 times till the beverage gets clear like glass. Keep it for atleast 3 months if you want to enjoy the taste of your own homemade mead.

Its been 30…

Easy but requires patience. More you keep, better it tastes.

Use any organic honey ..

@@TheDaaruTV ok thanks

Around 6 months

If you do not open the bottle it will stay good for 2-3 years. Generally it won't last more than 2-3 months as you would gulp it down soon.

@@Dave_en LOL, I will drink it in one day.

@@D33Lux I know we can gulp down all the bottle but it needs some time to remove off flavours and mature. It's your mead, drink it as you want. I do not drink more than 750ml @ 12-14% ABV. Too much of anything is bad and I don't drink for the sake of showing how big drinker I'm. I just enjoy the process.

He didn't seem to mention, but Starsan is very popular and easy to use. I use Pink Chlorinated Cleaner, it's a powder that you dissolve in water, clean things with it and then rinse in warm water and then cold.

can you please explain more?

Amazon you would get it
