Just picked up a starter kit from a local store here and 5 pounds of honey at Costco. Hopefully in a few months I will be happy with the choice!

Started my first batch using raw honey from Chipinge here in Zim. Just using brewer's yeast and a cheese cloth because it's quite difficult to find all the equipment here, but I have found someone who might be able to courier some stuff up for me from South Africa.

I get my honey from a local source and i luckily am able to get it at wholesale pricing finally. :)

I am a beekeeper, but am only now about to make some mead. In my beer brewing I am able to store yeast (and refrigerate it for later use) from the wort when I move to a secondary fermenter. Can this be done with mead and is this yeast viable? Also can I make up a tiny batch of mead (maybe a pint) with yeast to spread among multiple meads made at one time since I want to make five gallons at a time.

You can definitely re use yeast if you save it. You should be able to spread out your yeast like that.

Been binging your videos and taking notes for a while. I'm making my first mead for it to be enjoyed on my 21st birthday. My equipment arrived today and i was excited to see this bc im gonna do a refresher of all the things i need to know and do before i make it. Very helpful stuff, keep up the good work ^^

As a new mead maker from ND I definitely appreciate the callout! Not very often North Dakotans hear about our state.

i did ur basic recipe . fermanted 20 days and i got 13.65 abv . i 've used lalvin ICV opale . there is almost none yeast flavor left in the batch . it taste amazing . but i have a question . it taste like white wine . i've never tasted mead before but there isn't any significant flavor than the typical white wine . i was expected to taste new flavors . is it normal ? i set the yeast honey balance exact the consume to whole honey . so there isn't any honey left for sweetining . is the only point of mead is the adding more honey than the yeast can consume or backsweetining ? thank you so much for making this videos . it is so helpfull . ur channel is my guide . greetings from TURKEY

That's super interesting! Dry mead can often put off a white wine profile for sure. If you want it to be sweeter you will need to stabilize the mead with potassium sorbate & potassium metabisulfite, or pasteurize it and then backsweeten.

I wish I could find those bungs locally, but last I looked the best price I can find them for is $56 for 10 off Amazon 😂

@johndodson4511 Месяц назад

If all you are looking for is bungs though I found some 6.5 carboy bungs 4pk for $8 on amazon

My family is from Oklahoma so maybe try and forage some Chickasaw plums which grow wild there, if you get the chance. They make an awesome mead! My family is from Aline where the sod house is (4628 OK-8, Aline, OK 73716) and yes the man who built it was my aunt's grandfather.
