***** About Venison for Dinner *****
Thank you for joining us on this crazy journey! Our family- Kate and Marius plus our five kids, have always enjoyed living a homemade life whenever possible. Moving 1000 miles north in 2017 to Northern BC, Canada upped our game even more. We live on a 34 acre homestead and get a kick out of things like raising our own meat, dairy and vegetables. Theres plenty of failures, you’ll be sure to see those here too. We’re a homeschooling family who believes life is the best teacher but we do hit the books in winter. I’m so glad you’re here, I hope you stick around!
We put out a new video every Wednesday morning! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Thank you both for your wisdom in this video!! Especially your hubby, I know being on camera isn’t his favorite.
Yes it’s not his comfort zone but I truly appreciated him offering to join me when he saw I was feeling overwhelmed!
SO happy I caught this! Thank you for sharing!!!! 😊
Thank you for joining us!
I’m so glad you’re explaining all this! Thank you!
Thank you for joining us!
Thank you so much for this! I didn’t get to participate in the live because of my schedule change, but enjoyed watching the replay. I will be gathering all of my ingredients and start my very first ever mead! I’m so excited!!
I’m excited for you!!! Yay!
Sorry I missed the live. I really appreciate all the instruction. I will be trying this soon
I hope you do. It’s easy once you wrap your head around it! Thanks for joining us for the non live video!!
This helped us so much, it made mead not so scary to make - awesome thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
Sorry, I missed the live, but I’m excited to make my first batch. Thanks soooo much for sharing. Love you guys ❤️
I'm glad you could catch the replay! Once you make your first batch you won't look back!
Very special show. I enjoyed and must try.
Thank you both.🌸
Please do!! It’s easy to make and delicious to drink
Great instructions; thanks for sharing! You make everything seem easy; love your enthusiasm! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Thank you!!!
Just watching this makes me want to drink, looks and sounds so good.🍸
Hahahaha
Wonderful video! Thank you!
So happy you enjoyed it!
You have me all excited to try this now. I came across a dandelion wine recipe, but I have hope that my sour cherry tree will produce this year!!!! I will maybe have to try a tart cherry mead!!!!
You will love it!!
💚 This was SO enjoyable to watch! I learned a lot and to see the two of you together for a more lengthy time-period, and a topic about which Mareus (sp?) is passionate is really special. I may have to try making some mead! 💚
Thank you so much for your kind comments! You should definitely try making it! Marius had no previous experience when he started.
I bought the book. Trying it for the first time! You inspired us.
Wonderful!
I tried rose. To me it's like Soap lol. Good job explaining everything. You are awesome.
Yes, certain rose petals will do that. My mom has a rose called Fragrant Cloud that tastes soapy in kombucha. Thanks for watching!
I made a crap apple "mead" one year. It was ok once bottled, but next year it was great. Thank you for this video!!
That’s very cool to know!
Well got to have a go now you make it look easy so my turn everything crossed and blessed❤
You will find it super easy!!
I was babysitting and missed you guys, too! I'm so glad you're doing a replay!! I'm in Florida US. We have lots of beehives and we have a beekeeper neightbor. I also grow a lot of Pineapples so that's what I want to use. What do you think? Thanks for all your videos!
Oh my gosh, pineapple mead would be delicious!!! I'm glad you could watch the replay!
Interesting to experiment with!
It’s fun to make using whatever fruit is your favourite or most available to you!
Great information!!!
Y’all make a great tutorial together!!
Thank you so much!!
13:30 That comment was unnecessary in my opinion but i love the way you answered! Thank you for taking the time to teach us this...labour of love.
Thank you for your positive feedback! And thank you for being a part of our first live video!
At 46.27, my friends travel to a local stream for their water for wine etc, they say it's the best too.
That’s pretty amazing! Love that!
One of the things I have read about the "fermented honey" is that making Mead is the PERFECT way to use up any fermented honey you get from the hive. Something about the further fermentation in making Mead will make the fermented honey digestible for us humans.
Oh interesting!!
@@VenisonforDinner It works GREAT! and sure feels better knowing that all the "bad" honey is being used in a good way!
You can graft your cherry tree. ❤😊
Yes I just need to have the right type of rootstock.
I am completely new to making any kind of drinks other than lemonade!
I am wondering how does Kombucha and Mead differ? I have never made either but understand that they both take time to ferment.
Thank you so much!
Kombucha is non-alcoholic and a strictly fermented drink with many health benefits. It also takes a shorter time to ferment - approximately 2 weeks. Mead is an alcoholic drink that takes quite a bit longer to ferment (2-6 months) and as far as health benefits...it's better for you than wine, no preservatives. And it tastes good so that puts a smile on your face!
Can you put instructions for dandelion please. I presume it require some sort of tannins and do you steep your flowers?
We don't use any tannins in making the mead. Marius uses 2-3 pints of dandelion pedals (no green stuff) and stirs it in same as the other types of mead. Everything else is the same as the other types.
Why make mead instead of wine? Is it just taste? If you don’t have your own bees wouldn’t mead cost a lot more to make compared to wine? Thx y’all 😊
It might be, with sugar being cheaper than honey, but then requires more additives to make It work out from our understanding. When you break it down to a per bottle price, it’s only a few dollars per 26 ounce bottle with honey if you are using your own fruit (not purchased). Still pretty cheap.
I bought some honey from a farm n it has a light colored cloudiness in it. Could anyone tell me what is making this happen please? Thank you much 😊😊❤❤
It could be the start of crystallization
How long do you leave the water out to have it be safe to use
Usually overnight
If you had a still you could put that stuff into it and get pure alcohol off of it
Oh boy not sure I want to go
There. 🤪
The Flys will come😂.
Hahahah indeed! They love the smell of fermenting
Can you do just lemon?
You likely could. I'd do it with lots of lemon zest.
You two are like talking science encyclopedias.
this made me laugh!
You might take your level of knowledge for granted. This stuff is really out of my zone! The closest thing for me is making one jar of apple cider vinegar. It was successful.
You can use your glass bottles from empty olive oil bottles.
Another great
Suggestion!!
How many of your batches have turned into vinegar using this method ?? Want excellant reliable results learn how to properly make mead. Using airlocks and good brewers yeast.
Only once did we and it was a mistake in the inital brewing process before airlock. Have made many many many batches of good mead since. Honey and fruit provides amazing yeasts! Youre also welcome to take this recipe and add brewers yeast.
And the mistake was because the recipe we were following said you had upto 2 weeks to put it into an airlock and this was NOT true. We do not advise or teach this
At 52 didn't we see you use that funnel in a recent reel?
Oh my gosh!! Where is that darn thing?!
There's always more than one way to make something. You have to know how to be resourceful. Don't pay attention to such folks.
Thank you so much!!
