I actually did this a few months ago with coke, unfortunately the baking soda flavour intensified and made it pretty much undrinkable, I imagine yours will too but good luck 🤞 👍
I started my first mead 8 days ago. Your videos sparked my mead journey. I’ve thought about using molasses as a substitute for most of the sugar content. Thoughts on how it may turn out? ( my one mead fermenting right now is just honey mead)
@@dorothyyoung8231 It would be rum if you distilled it after fermentation is complete. Most rums are made from fermenting some type of sugar. Cane-based sugars are the most common.
I'm currently doing a Baja Blast mead. Racked it for the first time last night after a month of fermentation. Honestly, it tasted a lot better than I expected so far. 😂😂 Planning to fortify it in a couple weeks.
your video making skill are great, videos are well paced with no wasted time but please document the whole process start to finish - taste reviews and all🙏
Some of my favorite homemade wine was using grocery store ingredients. I usually try to get something labeled natural to avoid preservatives though. Never thought of trying to counteract them. 😂 I'm definitely trying trying this!
Hey bro, thank you for inspiring me with your content. I'm from India and have ordered the basic equipment needed to prepare a batch of my own. I've also ordered campden tablets and bentonite clay...I want to ask is it necessary to stabilize the mead, and do I also need different kinds of acids (citrus, malic) to put in the mixture before fermentation?
I've done a straight "mountain dew wine" with Mountain Dew Throwback which, IIRC, was made with sugar rather than corn syrup. Then I juiced it up with more plain white sugar. I was winging it and it came out too dry. But...yeah, well, you'll see. ;-)
Sometimes I feel like the internet is an amazing invention to help us gain knowledge. Then you see people who learned how to make something, then proceed to ruin the entire idea of it, and still gets paid
Sunday I learned you can order soda from applebees by the gallon Now I want to try their dark berry bash in mead form. Do you have rough estimations of how much honey and how much baking soda you used so I can attempt to replicate your expeiriment here?
Good point, but he also added honey, so it might technically be considered a braggot, a hybrid of beer and mead. Maybe add a touch of hops in the next batch to amplify the beer character.
Question: do you ever sell or do anything with the mead you make or are just doing it for shits and giggles? I’d love to try the meads you make but I’m too dumb (and broke) to make it myself
I'm going to assume that your company is based in America, since you don't have any company location information on your site or youtube account, and you primarily ferment American soft drinks. My question is : If American soft drinks use high fructose corn syrup (bad for fermentation), are you sourcing your soft drinks from manufacturers that use sugar in their products?
I'm moving in a few months and I don't know if my yeast will make it. So what the heck. I'm trying the same thing but with sugar (more of it in hand that has to be gone through) and with Code Red (since you've already started the meme). Should be interesting.
I am looking at the mead fermenting on my shelf and thinking “I wonder if I could use soda to make mead” and came across this video. The RU-vid algorithm is a scary thing…
