yep I just started my batch this morning. I made a batch of apple cider last month, and I wanted something different. This morning I am making apple/Strawberry/blueberry Metheglin or (flavored/Spiced mead )In about six months I'll have a finished product but as of now I have 3 gallons of apple cider to drink, I'm going to let some go to apple cider vinegar.
Thank you for making a short video of the entire process! I really appreciate your systemic approach to brewing in your content. Quick question: what powder is it that you use as yeast nutrient?
Isn't using the fruit skin bad as it contains pectins which then turn into methanol? I heard about it and I'm not sure, I wanted to try out making fruit mead but the methanol thing has me worried.
I added the 1tsb of cloves too soon with the apples and honey so now its fermenting … will this make taste too much like cloves? I heard it can be very potent!!!
Love your videos, like many others your IG was what got me started. I know you like the short video format but having to pause to read and get a good look takes away from the vibe.
Seeing this soda slowly transform into something else is so fun to watch unfold. It makes me wonder, what other sodas would work well as a mead? .....root beer?
Root beer was originally a "beer" to begin with, prohibition seen the no alcohol content so sugar and in some cases spices was added as a substitute for the alcohol
It all depends on the recipe. Little to no residual sugars? It will be "Dry" like a champagne. An abundance of sweetness? "Dessert" wine. Something in the middle? the terms "Medium" or "Semi-sweet" will be used.
@@friedoompa-loompa2876 Good point. Doing some more research myself and found there is "brewing sugar". I only asked because I have quite a bit of sugar left from a 50lb bag I bought for kombucha and baking.
@Blakeplaysgaming there are loopholes 😉 just depends on if the person is willing to take a risk or not. You are allowed to "gift" brewed/distilled alcohol.
Not all Honey is the same. There are different sources of pollen that bees collect from. Wildflower, Clover, Orange Blossom, Meadowfoam, Mesquite, Tupelo, Buckwheat etc. All look and taste slightly different from each other.
