Think this is the first video I can recall you guys didnt use anything for tannins. My first Hydromel is currently offgassing while waiting for me to have time to get to it and without the secondary additions or even aging tastes pretty yummy as is. Enough so I may set a bottle back before I do anything else to it.

Our tap water here is from a well, being in a rural (for now) area, and it tastes incredible, but every so often, you can tell the general improvement district runs chlorine through the system to stave off mold and crud growth. For a day or so, the water tastes like a pool. So it might be a good idea that even if your tap water tastes great like ours, you should take a taste before you use it in your must. Just an observation.

Good afternoon Brian and Derica! I just ordered a pack of the yeast and this will be my first hydromel. Thanks for all the great videos! Oh, btw, I still have 4 bottles of lemon mead that I bottled on 5/17/21 and was so happy to watch the video of how yours aged out. I gave one bottle away and there's a good chance they didn't open it yet. I am going to let them know that it's more than a cooking mead now, if they still have it. That's what I did with my first bottle; I used it in a seafood recipe where it turned out an excellent dish, Now it's a drinking mead if mine is as good as yours.

@hantms
@hantms 2 года назад
About the "How greedy do you want to be" in filling up as high as possible.. You can just leave quite a bit of space, wait for the initial vigorous fermentation to settle down a little, so then a day or two later you can fill it up further. "Oh but then my SG reading changes" yes it does, but you can just calculate the new 'starting gravity' based on the original volume, measured SG, and then the volume you've added.
@hantms
@hantms 2 года назад
Or: fill it up nice and full, take SG reading before pitching yeast, then take out 2-3 cups and put that in a bottle in the fridge (won't ferment, no yeast yet), THEN pitch yeast, let the yeast knock itself out foaming all it wants to do for the next 2 days, then when it settles down add back the must you put in the fridge. Yes it's an extra step, but so is dealing with a huge mess, blow off tubes and all that fun stuff. :) )
@bretonleo8740
@bretonleo8740 2 года назад
I find So4 and other English ale yeasts like Nottingham to be really temperature sensitive, I would temp control it to 65 Fahrenheit to avoid the esters that you can have at room temp with that yeast. They can produce a nice clean mead or ale but can also be overly fruity in a non pleasant way. It can also stall on you easily, since it floculantes really well one other tricky thing of this English strains !

it is suitable for all types of mead but it does have a high alcohol tolerance (18%). So if you are looking to make a sweet hydromel you will have to pasteurize it and back sweeten most likely.
@ihmehiitaja
@ihmehiitaja 2 года назад
I'm currently making sparkling mead, although it's above 10%. I was thinking about oversweetenening some of the bottles during secondary fermentation and then stopping the fermentation so that I end up with sweet sparkling mead. Not really sure how to stop the fermentation. Maybe pasteurization but I'm afraid the bottles might explode from increased pressure due to heating. I'm only going to heat the up to 70°C. Do you have any suggestions?

Noticed a little issue with your 1.035 info. You mention that for EVERY lb of honey into that 1gal container, and topped with water, it will increase gravity by .035. This can't be true. It works for the first lb of honey, but not for the second... third.... fifth. As you can imagine, as you add more honey into the same size vessel, you're greatly changing the ratio of honey/water. As an extreme example, if you put 10 lbs of honey in there, you won't end up with 1.35. I know this may seem obvious at those numbers, but we don't want people adding 2-3 lbs of honey in that one gal jug and guessing the brix. Also, Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada! I love your content and use it allll the time!

It's an organic nutrient. We began using it since we found it made for a more consistent fermentation. We don't really push a "natural" concept so much as a "simple" concept. Sure, the two coincide a lot, but that's the idea. As to what is in it? "Fermaid O™ is a blend of inactivated yeast fractions rich in organic nitrogen. Fermaid O™ does not contain added ammonia salts (DAP) or micronutrients."

If you want a sweet carbonated beverage it is best to sweeten to taste, then add the correct amount of additional sugars for carbonation, then to pasteurize after carbonation is complete to stop over carbonation. If you already have a carbonated beverage that you would like to be sweeter, your best option is to add some simple syrup at the time of drinking so that you won't loose your carbonation.

I am a new Homebrewer, after being a beekeeper for a few years. Is there a reason why you are using yeast in packets of 5 grams? at my homebrewstore you can also buy 500 gram yeast containers for the price of 10 x 5 gram packets. what would you recommend?

If you can buy bulk *wine* yeast and nutrients I would recommend that it's cheaper than single packets but most people dont make or buy in bulk so it's cheaper for them to buy single packets at a time but make sure you are purchasing wine yeast as bread yeast gives different flavors' goodluck friend!

Easier to get, more convenient than measuring.... Never thought about it. We like to use many different yeasts too so having 500 g of each would be too much.

I just made a similar recipe but used 3lbs of honey. Now you have me nervous about the results At the same time, I made your traditional recipe using black tea, raisins and orange peel

If you were aiming for a hydromel… it’s not. However! It can be a perfectly fine mead :)

What is the ideal pH for the water?
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад
Water is ideally 6.5-8.5. Outside of that you may have problems.

All the meads I make get a slight sulfur smell when they get down to 1030 gravity is this normal?
@CitySteadingBrews
@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад
Sounds like not enough aeration. Also try degassing during fermentation.

We keep them away when we're brewing so we don't get cat hair in our brews.

A quirky observation, it appears that your necked fermenters (gallon jugs) are threaded for a cap. Why use "the thumb saver bung" ...or any bung for that matter, when you can just screw on a cap & be done with it. No leaks, muss, or fuss. Your thumb(s) will appreciate the relief of stress. Save Thy Thumbs!

We could... lost those caps a long time ago and I think we have three kinds! T's easier (and funnier imo) to just use a solid bung :)
