Simple delicious meed recipe. 4 gallon batch.
This batch took a little longer then 30 days because the room temperature where i had originally stored the carboy was below what the yeast needed so we put it next to a heater vent after moving it to a bucket. Because of having to move it 2 times i ended up losing about a gallon of the batch.
Ingredients
4 gallons of spring water
12 LB's of honey
1 package of Lalvin 4x4 yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons of potassium sorbate (optional)

Your the only one that could find that was making it the way I was looking for. Skål brother!
I got some that's about 2 years old it is amazing. It's great at any age though.
Mead has always been a favorite partly the history but mostly...it's good! Cherry is an incredible mead with honey base. Thanks for the new recipe to try.
Ever tried cinnamon sticks and honey mead
Oh hell yeah!! Love this recipe!! Can not wait till it warms up so we can add some Mead to the wine list. Thanks!!
What in the bootleg debauchery is this? LMAO when he said "you can fast forward if you don't want to watch me pour 4 gallons of water" I laughed so hard. Then he pulled out a road marker with a couple of zip ties on it LMFAO. Love the video man.
That mixing wand was created by me maybe I should patent it...
But I actually enjoyed watching him pour the water, the commentary while he did it was good.
To speed up the pouring of the honey sit it it warm water but dont let it get too hot.
Also by using luke warm honey its easier to mix and it starts fermenting sooner.
Came here to say the same thing. When I was brewing with DME I would do the same thing
Thanks, making mead for first time in few days, got other home brew experience though.
Love this recipe!! (And the squeaky toy is a great touch!!)
Dammm. Jelly Roll had enough of rapping and became a viking
Dam hahahaha
Watching the honey hit the bottom of the carboy is mesmerizing. Got me two quarts of local, and I’m gonna give this a try. Good video
Each type of honey has a different taste, i would like to try some new stuff soon.
You guys inspire me! I'm getting ready to make my first batch. I'll let you know how it turns out! For future reference, this is where Five Bees Mead was conceptualized! Thank you Booze Daddy!
How did it turn out
@@simonmalm7432 It actually quickly evolved into something really big! The mead is beyond amazing and there have been about 8 batches by now. Looking to go commercial and exploring what it takes to start.
Warm your honey in a pot of warm water it will pour lots faster
I drink mead and i turn into viking thanks
Thanks for the vid. Looks like it turned out OK
I took some shine and mixed half honey and half shine in a bottle and let it sit for a day, the result was actually very good. Not sure if that would be considered mead but it's good tho.
Thanks for the video, Kinda rough but nice and informative.
If you simmer the honey for an hour, it causes the mead to ferment a little faster and a lot clearer, and it has a really nice caramel flavor.
only if your going to make a Bochet Mead.
Should have heated the water the put honey in that way the yest can feed on it better making a better mead. But great video love that ur passing the knowledge along
I'd personally boil an extra packet of the yeast to provide some nutrient , but a good simple recipe
I've tried to make a few batches of mead and it always tasted terrible, I'm going to try the Lalvin BM 4X4, thanks!
And the award for "Smallest Funnel" goes to...
Just yankin your ⛓.
Seriously tho. Size matters.
Thanks for sharing. I'm about to make my 1st batch. Glad to see a nice simple way.
Some wild sounds in the background 🐯🐸🐔🦖🐖🦙
kids bro ;p
Wyd boy . Gimme that
Pasteurized your honey with water on the stove, also need to discard the foam as you're cooking it.
Sorry to as silly question. 1 gallon is equal to 4.5 liter or 3.5 liter? Because i found different answer in google 🙏
Did you heat the honey up to get it to pour faster? I couldn't quite hear ya? Looks awesome. 6 gallon char boy?
Mead is necessary for when impatient beekeeper jumps the gun on harvesting pre-capped honey (which spoils when harvested) or honey contaminated with sugar (pre-spoiled) is in the combs.
It is a measure to take when impending starvation is the alternative
It is my understanding that adding air to your brew can ruin it causing it to turn into vinegar?
Na that's more with beer. you wanna get that yeast in there when making wine. Never had a bad wine and I've made so many. Have had a couple bad beers though because they are real finniky.
How strong would you estimate this mead to be
Can I scale this down to 1 gallon and get the same results? Good video, thanks.
yes you can.
Okay, thank you!
Scared of the wide are we lol?
Montage brother lol.
Put a cork in it, throw it in the trunk and go mud boggin!
What i don't get is where the he'll did the bucket come from.
Did you empty the jug into the bucket?
Yes you move it to clean it up. The bucket was my secondary. after 2 weeks you always wanna move your wine, and leave behind the sludge in the bottom.
I get my water outta the ground. I guess you city boys gotta take the jugs word for it😆 Seriously though is that how they made mead in the day
Durian moonshine
The only problem I have is I didn't see or hear anything about sanitizing anything
I mean that would make for a pretty boring video watching me wash dishes, i usually just assume everyone already knows to star sans their equipment, but you're probably right i should start including that in my videos. When i started making videos i always wanted to just show people straight to the point what they were looking for but i am finding more and more i was wrong.
If it gets you drunk..
IM IN BITCH!!!!!
Which yeast did you use??
Hope you already found out what yeast to use and got started on your mead, if not, you can use almost any yeast to make meads, but wine yeast are good because they preserve honey (and fruit) flavours well, clear well, and also make the lees at the bottom more packed. Most use Lalvin 71B, D47 or 1118 which you can get at any brewing shop, or Amazon, for ~$1 for a pack which works up to 5-6 ga. For 1-3ga carboy use half the pack.
he showed in the video..
My piece of constructive criticism would be you say "using water, honey and yeast" but the put that potassium stuff in.. not a needed component
you should have taken a specific gravity to what your potential alcohol would be
We should probably get more technical from here on out i just like showing people how easy it is, and truth be told i been drinking long enough my tongue can tell me what proof something is. PROFESSIONAL.
What proof did you end up with in this recipe
Well there's my ten cents. YT have you 2 ads
When was time lapse photography invented ????
1870’s
Dude you make great videos and like your content but I absolutely can't watch your stuff because your language is horrible plz clean up your language I can hear children in the background I'm sure they don't like listening to it either
