@@rororumba have a great day😊
@@jaydenrock_ian you too mate
Love this kind of content, would really appreciate more of these!
Noted
Excellent job with the cinematography. I never doubted for a second that you could adapt to long-form.
Diggin the longer form, keep em comin! Just about to rack some Vikings Blood mead, first batch I’ve ever done, quite excited!
I love the longer videos it would be awesome if you started doing full videos like this more often
I'm so glad you made this video! I've made two meads so far, first being the Skyrim BlackBerry (failure) and one with Thimbleberries and Strawberries (huge success!) and I wanted to make one this summer with wild blueberries around my camp when they are ready to pick. Will use your tips when making this in a couple weeks!
I got an ad for some kind of beer and since I’m multitasking it took a while for me to realize “hey this guy sounds different”
I was hoping you had made a blueberry mead as I will soon have a glut of then to use - great to see.
@@Balliant I’ll probably try some of these recipes when me and my friends are all 21
Something that could be interesting for your meads/wines: dry hopping. Hops can be added to the wine making process at different points which then add different notes to the wine. If you add the hops while boiling the mash, the more of the bittering compounds are added. Alternatively, adding the hops during fermentation (you will have to remove the hops after a few days) imparts more of the fruity oils (usually very little bitters) into the wine while also making it cloudy. In fact, this latter method is often used to make Hazy IPAs.
There is a cider brewery near me that actually makes some hopped apple ciders. Some of which are amazing
Dude this is awsome for a how to makes me want to buy your kit now
Thanks, I like being able to explain more details than I can in shorts. Hopefully more of this content to come very soon.
These long form videos are the move, man. Loved this 🙏🏼
I'M INTO IT
Not me looking for part 2 before seeing this was dropped 20 minutes ago
As soon as it's ready I'll make a video
Love the longer videos! Keep em coming!
FINALLY! I've been wanting this kind of content. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love blueberries!
ever since i found this channel, i started making my own mead. youre right, mead is the best alchoholic drink ever
Keep at her! Great for beginners.
I hate that as soon as I saw those frozen blueberry packages in the intro the Wii Sports Resort theme started playing in my head 😭
I wonder if adding toasted wheat berries would make it taste even more like pancakes?
Thank you. This is the video I needed
I don't even drink but your videos make me wanna brew.
It's nice to see the younger hipsters finding mead. Keep it up!
Bought your kit and am brewing my first mead, basing off this video. I used 2 pounds honey 1 pound maple syrup and blueberry juice. Started smelling like alcohol after 2 days. Sadly, after about a week, I started getting the dreaded hydrogen sulfide smell, but I’ve heard this is not abnormal. Does this ever happen to you and do you think it’s reason for concern? Also can’t wait for part 2 I’m brewing this with you!
Thank you
Just found your channel. Loving the video! :)
Hey man! big fan thank you for making these videos! I've made a blueberry and strawberry mead so far with your guidance! I will say it's an easy craft to get into and hard to master. can you tell me why some of my first batches have a hard olive taste? just honey mead no additives.
I really liked the video😊😊😊😊
I really liked it!
Just last week I started to make my own mead and therefore I could relate with "it gets very messy." XD
Since Gallon and Pound is Not very common in Germany an Sidenote with kg would be very helpful. I enjoyed your Video ❤.
Im really happy I found this video, but I wish I had found it before I started my first batch
Great video! Keep them coming!
This was a great video, thank you
I love your short videos, but this longer form content is fantastic too.
What stirring tool do you use? I’ve been looking for something like that but haven’t had luck as of yet
love the long form videos, sad that it has little views
I use two tablespoons of lemon juice as acid and nutrients, one thing I learned never use coconut when making mead,I made mead with coconut water and it was awful and I found out that the oils in coconuts don't go well with the fermentation process only afterwards. Anyways love the video thanks for sharing the recipe.
Señorial sangría is my favorite soda should totally try making a wine from it
Sounds great! I still need to make a mead!
Pls more longer vids
I added blackberries with mine which turned a little bitter. But I added a little more honey at the end and came out sweeter.
I been binge watching your shorts so had to watch some full vids. This may be a dumb question, but I'm a huge fan of coconut flavored drinks and was wondering if it's possible to ferment/make a coconut wine?
Made two blueberries and two blackberry meads before I learned the power of the bag!
using pectic enzyme will also keep your jar from exploding
I just thought of this. Have you ever added miracle berries to wine? They turn acidic things sweet. So much that chewing on one can make a lemon taste like an orange. I feel that they could make an interesting component to the process
I'm actually making this exact mead off your extended recipe pdf at the moment, started it last week! I used blueberry juice, but also noticed you called for the addition of blueberries post fermentation. It would be really helpful to know a rough length of time I should keep the blueberries in post fermentation, do you just judge by taste?
I feel like the older i get the closer i grow into alcohol
Bwahahahaha how to tell if someone is 30+: check their cabinets for homemade beer or mead
Facts
Great content been thinking about trying a blackberry mead is the process pretty much identical? And do you sanitize your fruit?
give this man likes
Do you take your fruit bag out before the end of primary fermentation? If so, when do you do so?
3:29 if your tap wayer isn't hard and tastes good, use it. I have well water that gets tested every 5 years, it's fine.
What's up!
I have a question. How to calculate percentage of wine before making it (I know amounts of: sugar, fruit I wanna use (rhubarb or blueberrie in that case) and yeast).
Just a quick question, how would i go about clearing my mead? Its a standard honey mead using your glass mead making kit
How long do you keep the berries in? Until fermentation is finished?
Wondering as well
@everettphypers7050 I recently read to only keep them in for 7-14 days or flavors might get weird. But idk If I trust a random on some old forum
I just made it, how long do you think it would take to fully ferment?
You should use a mason jar funnel to fill your brew bag
Once you’ve rinsed with Starsan, do you rinse everything with water to get any residual Starsan off, or not?
If I’m raking blueberries from a field do I need to clean them?
Making homemade wine is also a good way to boost local economy
How'd you sanitize the brew bag?
As I have personally found out, making mead is quite messy 😂 a fermentation explosion didn’t happen, my husband just forgot what fluid dynamics are while mixing the honey and apple juice (with the paddle attached to a drill, because he’s impatient as hell) and so it just wound up halfway up a wall.
Hey man question. Just started fermenting a mead and added yeast nutrients after 24hrs and now it smells like hydrogen sulfide. Everything was sanitized well. It’s day 3 of fermentation, should I just leave it be or is there something I can do?
I made some strawberry wine a few years ago and the recipe i followed said to boil the water and strawberries together, is that not something that needs to happen generally?
no views in 20 seconds bro fell off (jk good video))
How long do I need to keep mead aging? I have my first batch, however i put in the yeast nutrients way later than i should have and it tastes bad and smells a bit bad, I dont know if the batch is a fail or if i can still save it, it is 112 days old, what do I do?
Would it be possible to make a non alcoholic mead
Any chance you have seen pohutkawa honey from nz most places make it into a session mead put one place makes it with greengage plums to be added with other ingredients to make a sangria
Thoughts on huckleberrys with a huckleberry honey? 🤤
Where would I find huckleberries?
@@goldenhivemead there are a couple companies that deliver fresh frozen. As well as huckleberry preserve not sure if that would work. As well as huckleberry honey 🤔
I wanna make a mixed berry mead
what happens if you make mead from bread yeast?
Hey you should try making mead with real maple syrup also known as acerglyn
Do not shake the yeast! Make sure that the yeast is gently hydrated by leaving it for 5 minutes and then stir to mix it up. Shaking it might break the cell walls.
Make Ecto Cooler wine
I dare you to make Durian mead…
How did it start at 1.11% ?,
1.110 is the SG which if it ferments dry, should get to around 14.4%
Sure, here's the translation of your text to English:
"If I understand correctly, you are using pasteurized honey? In my recipes, I mainly find that I should first heat the honey-water mixture to kill off any foreign yeasts. That would explain why you use pasteurized ingredients, right?"
That seems like way too much formentable sugar, unless you want it ultra sweet!
It seems like a lot, but this yeast should have no problem eating through it. With a SG of 1.110, this should hit at least 14% ABV
